When Dustin Barnhurst co-founded Guzzle, he and his team had a vision: to create a place that brought smiles through great service, refreshing sodas, and quick treats. But as the business expanded, maintaining consistency and profitability became a challenge.

Before joining the P3 Mastermind, Guzzle operated two locations. “We had great ideas, but we didn’t have the systems dialed in,” Dustin explains. “P3 gave us the tools and mentoring we needed to streamline operations so we could rinse and repeat.”

A 20% Profitability Increase 

One of the most significant impacts of the program was improving Guzzle’s bottom line. “Before P3, we were at negative 4% profitability. Now, we’re averaging around 15%. That’s a 20% increase,” says Dustin. By implementing P3’s financial tracking and monitoring strategies, he was able to identify key areas for improvement and drive sustainable growth.

A Simple Framework for Long-Term Success

For Dustin, one of the biggest takeaways from P3 is its simplicity. “The program gives you a clear set of instructions to continuously monitor your numbers. The things we pay attention to are the things that improve.” This focus on data-driven decision-making has been crucial in Guzzle’s expansion to five locations.

When asked to sum up the P3 Mastermind in one word, Dustin’s answer is simple: “Community.” He emphasizes that any restaurateur facing challenges, whether in profitability, operations, or growth, can find immense value in the program.

With P3’s guidance, Guzzle isn’t just growing. It’s thriving while staying true to its mission of creating a million smiles, one satisfied customer at a time.
