Subway does not have company stores as they know they are not profitable. When they did have some they didn’t run well. Over the decades Subway brought people from the field that were not good leaders and/or weak managers (dept heads). I was surprised to see how generally weak employees were at HQ.
I love the content and insights of each episode but audio quality needs improvement. The latest Raising Canes episode was extremely hard to hear given the use and recording of a speaker phone. Suggestion: record all episodes through Skype or other online platform.
Really people were coming from California and Canada to eat their food from a cart in NYC. And their delivery via 3rd party is 35% of their business. Stop the fake news.
Fantastic podcast that covers all aspects of the business. Interesting and thought provoking. Great mix of topics and interviews. Thank you!
Jonathan and his incredibly knowledgeable guests shine the brightest of lights on the restaurant industry and those inside it! Bold, insightful, and engaging are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. Thanks for putting out such a superb show Jonathan - keep up the great work!
