Servedwell Hospitality: 127 Years of Family Business Done Right (Will Silverstein) | Mortgage Daddies

A clothing store that accepted tire returns is now a 127-year restaurant empire. Will Silverstein is the 5th-generation owner of Servedwell Hospitality, the New Bedford-based group behind Black Whale, Candela, Sail Loft, Not Your Average Joe's, and National Club. We cover the Silverstein family's philosophy of hospitality over service, how Not Your Average Joe's scaled to 28 locations across six states before his father sold the franchise side, and Will's decision to leave New York City fine dining and return home during COVID. We also get into employee retention, doubling down on bad guest experiences to build loyalty, DoorDash's 30% commission reality, and where Servedwell is eyeing expansion next. If you run a business that lives and dies on client experience, this one is for you.
