Business Quote by Jon Taffer

“When you're on-stage, you're expected to perform in the bar business. You shake hands. You smile. You're all positive energy: you add to your environment. When you walk in the door to the back of the house, that's like a stage door. You're off-stage now.” quote by Jon Taffer — Download Open image
