It means that we've got to work harder to close the feedback loop. Seeking timely feedback is essential to our success. While the strategies I share in this episode aren't as instant as the tips waitstaff receive, they will put you one step ahead of the competition. Feedback improves our practices and our team, and it helps our bank account grow.
