Carrie Luxem Stops By Chicago’s Remarkable Radio Show to Discuss Restaurant Entrepreneurship

Restaurant and human resources expert, Carrie Luxem talks about how to grow a restaurant chain by selecting the right people for the job.

Chicago, IL – Restaurant industry and human resources expert, Carrie Luxem was recognized as a Remarkable Expert by a popular Chicago radio show called “Remarkable Radio.” The program chooses noteworthy Experts, People, Places, and Things from around the globe and in your town to showcase for their audiences. Luxem appeared as a guest on the show to talk a little bit about the restaurant business and her personal philosophy on running a successful business. The show aired on a Saturday evening on AM560 The Answer, one of the premier talk stations in Chicago, also home of Hannity and The Dennis Miller Show.

Luxem has worked in the restaurant industry since she was 15 years old, learning the ins and out of what customers respond to and what personality types can make a service-oriented business even more successful. Luxem’s ardent and enthusiastic support for Potbelly Sandwich Works helped this national chain grow from 3 locations to over 220 within a single decade. Chicago radio show host Mark Imperial asked Luxem to share her expertise with his audience.

“I love discussing how important having the right people for the job can be. To be able to share my experience about what makes a successful restaurant on Chicago radio is surreal,” said Luxem.

Restaurant HR Group is a firm that is committed to providing top shelf restaurant outsourcing that will provide focused energies on hiring the right people for the job, developing benefits packages which will retain “super” performers, and leadership training that will help restaurants get everyone on the same page and performing as a synergistic team.

In the interview, Luxem discussed her experience in the restaurant industry and how she was able to expand upon core concepts of human resources to create a process that acts like a growth machine for restaurants. She explains to Mark how finding the right candidates for the culture will create synergy and momentum, as well as, prevent turnover and reduce overhead costs.

As President of Restaurant HR Group, Carrie brought with her years of successfully growing a local chain into a national one. Her belief that a business’s success is through “the strength of its people and people-systems” has enabled her to work her magic on chains in the Chicago area and across the United States. She is passionate about her message and its delivery, believing that a restaurant’s success is based off of how it is organized and who works for it. Her distinct forte is in partnering with small to mid-sized restaurants, finding them top talent, and creating standard operating procedures which will alleviate management burdens so that the company can focus on their message and creative vision.

“Carrie Luxem and the Restaurant HR team have been an exemplary partner for DMK Restaurants. Their recipe of restaurant industry expertise mixed with seasoned professionalism makes Restaurant HR the ideal match for small to medium size restaurant groups. Carrie Luxem, its founder and leader, is a dynamo that truly understands the value of creating value for each of my restaurants based on its unique needs. As a Company that prides itself in its truly exceptional hospitality, training and development of its key people, and out of the box retention — we have found Restaurant HR to be a key to unlocking this treasure.”

“Most successful restaurant operators realize that finding and retaining quality people is essential to building a prosperous business. Managing, motivating and supporting employees can become a more challenging undertaking than servicing customers. It requires a depth of knowledge and skill set rarely found in most restaurant organizations. At Meatheads we rely on Carrie and Restaurant HR group to provide us with a breadth of services and level of experience and engagement that we would be unable to hire in house. Restaurant HR group is a highly trusted resource in whom we place our confidence allowing us to focus on the execution within our restaurants and taking care of our customers.”

“I started working with Carrie when I had just one restaurant, but aspirations for many more. She was vital in helping me find the right people and setting up HR systems that assisted us in our ability to grow rapidly. Carrie has always been an honest and trusted advisor and now a friend. The level of energy, knowledge and dedication that comes from the Restaurant HR Group team is amazing. They’re enormously passionate about adding value to the restaurants they support and do remarkable work. I am continually amazed at the high level and quality of work we get from them.”
