The Unsliced Restaurant System by Mike Bausch Reviews 

As a first-time restaurant owner with no previous restaurant experience, joining the Unsliced Restaurant System was one of the best decisions I made. The program has been an invaluable resource for understanding what it really takes to own and operate a restaurant.

Mike is incredibly down to earth, approachable, and generous with his knowledge. What makes his guidance especially valuable is that it comes from real-world experience. He privately owns 13 restaurants, so the advice he shares has been tested through years of success and challenges.

One piece of advice from Mike completely changed my path. During one of the group Zoom calls, he encouraged members to operate like a catering company before opening a brick-and-mortar. I took that advice, started with pop-ups at my local farmers market, and spent months refining my dough, recipes, and operations before opening Lucky Dough Pizza. That foundation played a significant role in where my business is today.

If you are serious about opening or improving a restaurant, I highly recommend the Unsliced Restaurant System. It provides practical, experience-based guidance from someone who has already done what many of us are trying to accomplish.

Worth every penny. My husband and I run a mobile pizza trailer, and Unsliced gave us the business clarity we were missing — we finally understand our real financials and food costs.

We meet biweekly with Alfredo, who actually answers our questions and helps us solve real problems. Post a question in the community and you get a fast response — no waiting around.

The biggest win: systems. We wanted to hire so I wasn't stuck on the trailer every time we opened up, and Unsliced showed us how. We hired an employee, and it worked — I got to stay home with my kids two days this week because my husband and our team handled it without me. That's exactly why we started this.

Still dialing things in, but we're in a completely different place than before. If you're on the fence, this is what gets you out of "doing everything yourself" mode.

I have worked in the service industry for 20 years and thought I knew everything needed to run a successful shop on my on. Boy was I wrong. Mike and his team have given me energy again to love what I do by giving the systems that actually work and have scaled my business to new heights where I can spend time with my wife and kids and enjoy life again!

Unsliced has guided me to become the leader I need to be and improve our systems to guide our team to success. It has helped me to become aware of numbers on a daily and weekly basis not just the end of the month when you can not react and correct. I feel successful with the unsliced program.

Its great. I am very happy so far. my restaurant is 6yrs old so we are not beginners but we need to start to excel and not just get by. This course is helping tighten all those missing pieces. I also really love the community

The Unsliced Restaurant System has been an amazing asset to us. Mind you we beat the odds and have been in business since 1965 (61years). We had to learn by trial and error. Still after all those years in business we found a tremendous benefit to implementing the URS. Weather you are a seasoned veteran or a newbie to the industry you will benefit in many ways. You will be more profitable, work less and reduce the stress of running your business. Also having a community of peers that you can bounce off your new ideas, problems or any obstacle you have. I found the Monday morning meetings one of the best things, It was like having personal business consultant every week. For me dialing into the numbers was huge. With that alone I think my break even point was about 5 months out. As a seasoned restaurant veteran in the industry I HIGHLY recommend URS.

The best investment I have ever made!!!
I don’t say this lightly but this really has been the best money move I have made in 27 years operating pizza stores. I joined the unsliced community over 3 years ago and with the help of Mike and the community, I have now grown to 4 locations with a fifth pending. Mike has a no bulshit approach at addressing issues and has nonissues calling you out on them which is
exactly what us Pizza operators need sometime.

I have more than 10X the Initial investment in the first year of doing this course and there is no sign of that slowing down.

What is amazing about this course Is that you have access to the content and the community for life and I have revisited different modules along my Pizza journey over the past few years as problems and situations have came up.

There is seriously good backup from the amazing Christina who is always at Hand to answer any queries or issues that may pop up and she is just the best!!!

I would highly recommend this Course if you are just getting into the Pizza business but more so if you have a store or multi stores and want to streamline it and get it to that point where it is actually a real business and a profitable asset, then this is your Course and Mike is your guy. He really does care

As a sole restauranteur, I don't get much feedback on what to do. Having over a 100 other people, in the same boat, helps me in decision making. Mike is great at breaking down all components of running a successful store, and giving direction, with tools to track and implement change. I have been to every Monday call, with the exception of one since October. I have implemented many of the changes he recommended, including re-vamping my menu, and many more.

Outstanding Program! Even for a seasoned restauranteur, this program is worth it. Unsliced was everything i was told it would be. Very Satisfied!

Fantastic program and community. Will help any restaurant owner, at any level. Mike is the real deal. No fluff, just real, actionable steps to improve your business and your life.

The course is comprehensive and with weekly live calls that support the material. Still it is constantly evolving and improving . The team is a group of professionals that are knowledgeable with years of expertise.
What stands out is the authenticity of Mike, the team and the material , he is successful in his own businesses but fully committed to everyone’s success in the program .

I have watched this program change lives. I absolutely recommend if you are in the biz, you'll wish you had started it years ago. Don't go in wishy-washy, commit and execute!

There are countless "training classes" and "master classes" available, but this is a COMPLETE SYSTEM! It’s not just a "Here you go, you're on your own" approach; it includes an active community with live Zoom meetings every Monday morning. You’ll receive accountability and answers to your specific questions. They provide practical resources like spreadsheets, SOPs, how-to guides, and much more. THIS IS REAL-WORLD WORKING KNOWLEDGE! The information offered here is equivalent to what you would pay a franchise fee of $50,000 to $150,000 for! While the upfront cost may seem high, it is absolutely WORTH EVERY PENNY in both the short and long run! Keep in mind that this is a HANDS-ON SYSTEM, not one where "they do it for me," so be prepared to invest weekly hours. Ultimately, you’ll be on track to run a successful restaurant, with a clear understanding of your actual profits, reduced operating costs, and valuable insights to guide your future growth, including potential second locations. We are so glad that we did this because it's turning our business from "Meh, is this stress really worth it" towards being a "I'm on vacation for two weeks and my managers are handling everything smoothly, while we discuss purchasing another location"... Very happy we took the plunge!

So much to learn. I wish I had this course sooner I would have never been in the mess I am in. Definitely helped me unwind it but not enough time. Got Sliced... Will you use Mikes wisdom and tools to start over in a much better situation and understanding. The best part is the phycology Mike teaches he is definitely a leader for people that love the restaurant game.

Mike and team have been extremely helpful. By sharing from years of experience and cutting through the BS, Unsliced has been invaluable and showing me where I need major improvement in how to run my business. From the marketing, payroll, build cards and all else, it's all been so valuable. But it only works if I do, so consistency is of the essence on my part.

I’ve been running an independent restaurant for over 23 years, and the Unsliced Program has been incredibly awesome. The systems and ideas are practical and immediately useful, but the community of other owner-operators is just as powerful. I am engaged in my business in a way I haven't been in years and showing much increased profit. Old dogs can absolutely learn and benefit from this program! Mike leads with a caring, direct style and brings deep knowledge from real experience running restaurants, which makes the whole program feel totally genuine and relatable.

I don't feel like this course helps me right now. This was presented as how to open a pizza shop. This course is for people that already own places. I have struggled with ciphering issues on the program. When I ask questions they seem to get brushed off. Mike helped me on some issues on leases and contracts. In the end I used his information to walk away from a situation that probably would have put me in a very bad financial situation. There's not much I can really do now until I find a place to open which is really tough in Boise unless you went to spent $55 sq ft.

I'm currently in the "Pre-Open" phase with zero ownership experience. Mike does an excellent job at not only covering the "basics" but thoroughly detailing the nuances that come with experience. The value of the knowledge and support found within the community is immeasurable.

Excellent information, tools and insights to improving your restaurant operations.

It has worked great for me! Asked several questions and we will be using often. Great add to the program.
