Omar El Deek (Cosi, Cucinetta, Vaporetto and Carboni's) - a tiny powerhouse
b"When your restaurant isn't working, many owners would look at the menu, wine list, maybe the interior. Omar El Deek instead studied the psychology that underpinned his business, turning a struggling Italian eatery into a tiny powerhouse. We chat about his restaurants - Melbourne's Cosi, Cucinetta and Vaporetto, and Carboni's in Ballarat - and the way he and his partners approach staff training, customer body language and the constant juggling act of costs and pricing.\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/omar.eldeek/?hl=en\\n\\nFollow Dirty Linen on Instagram\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast\\n\\nFollow Dani Valent\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\\n\\nFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\\n\\nFollow Huck (Executive Producer)\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/\\n\\nLISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS\\n\\nhttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork\\n\\nDirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
