With over 12 years of experience working in different job positions in the same business industry, Dan decided to establish his own restaurant which he’s been manifesting for a long time ago. Dana Eating House was established in 2020 and has been running for 2 years and counting. Growing his business with over $2.3 million mark in revenue and 11 FTEs.
Dan has mentioned that communication and honesty are the habits that small businesses need to maintain. To further explain this, he added, “If you can't be honest with yourself and your team around you, and have difficult conversations and communicate effectively. To be honest, I think you'd have been in a bit of trouble making hard decisions.”
