Burnout isn't a badge. It's a leak. Chef Patrick Cassata and I get under the hood on what actually keeps kitchens running: leadership reps, clean handoffs, and systems that protect people and profit. We talk delegation without martyrdom, expectations that stick, and why hospitality is the job even when tickets stack. Patrick's path from McDonald's rushes to leading an eight-figure operation is a masterclass in operational clarity. If you're an independent restaurant fighting drift, this one's a field manual.
