Profile bio
About Luis Rabo, Mba
I love to be constantly learning and coaching.My personal and professional experiences in food, beverage, entertainment, and retail have taught me the following about myself:I have a history of successfully:-Building teams that deliver 4+ star reviews and exceeds financial expectations,-Equipping my team members with the tools (equipment, training, emotional support, and direction/goal setting) they need to do their best work and-Executing an already successful playbook (as I did as a franchisee and during my time with Pappas Restaurants), improve upon an existing playbook (as I did when I opened House of Blues Houston and worked at Harrah’s Entertainment), or write a new playbook (as an opening manager for Aramark at the Houston Astros and Houston Texans stadiums).I can make decisions using:-25+ years of management experience,-My ability to analyze data in making choices and-The learnings that two master’s degrees, an undergraduate degree, and continual reading, listening to podcasts, taking courses, and hearing audiobooks regarding leadership, marketing, and operations have given me.I run award winning businesses:- The Leader Readers’ Choice in various years (2019 – 2022) as Best Wine Bar, Best Service, Best Place to Host a Party, and Best Specialty Food Store,- The Houston Press Best Bowling Alley (2014),- Pollstar Award for Best New Concert Venue (2008) and- Chairman’s Award (Caesar’s/Harrah’s highest employee recognition) for Superior Team Performance (2006)I enjoy working with and for owners of small to medium sized businesses that:-Give their leaders autonomy,-Can articulate a vision so that I can do my best work leading, training, and consulting my team in executing the operation based on the owner’s vision,-Sees me as an integral part of growing their business and-Has a clear path for me to earn increased levels of responsibility within their organization.I’m the kind of leader that forwards pertinent articles to my team members as it relates to their goals, that ends meetings with reinforcing our wins, and when necessary, has respectful, candid conversations with those that have a need for improved performance. I’m not the kind of leader that is emotionally unstable when facing adversity, forgets to be grateful for the efforts of my co-workers, or sets a poor example by saying one thing, but doing something else (or at least I do my best to not be that kind of leader).Reach out if you want to talk about anything small business/franchising, ways to improve a dad bod, cooking, wine, and all things Houston sports.
