Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brandon Coleman, CEO, Cotton Patch Cafe : “Keeping Comfort Food Comfortable on the Wallet”
Q: How important is delivery and off-premise to your business right now?
Delivery is important and can be profitable with the right third-party relationships; we view it as incremental to the main dine-in business and emphasize profitable margins.
Brandon Coleman, CEO, Cotton Patch Cafe : “Keeping Comfort Food Comfortable on the Wallet”
Q: Texas Value Meals seem central to your strategy. Can you explain how you've kept that message consistent over time?
We've stuck with the same core offer and messaging since launch about two years ago, choosing to build awareness gradually rather than chasing frequent changes, which has driven sustained traffic and volume.
Brandon Coleman, CEO, Cotton Patch Cafe : “Keeping Comfort Food Comfortable on the Wallet”
Q: So you've got about 50 stores, mostly in Texas—how does that scale with your expansion plan?
Expansion will be opportunistic, focusing on second-generation spaces that allow for rapid, low-cost entry while maintaining the core value proposition and dining experience.
Arian Lewis, CEO & Co-Founder, Kiln “Why Coworking Isn’t Dead — It Just Grew Up”
Q: What markets are you targeting next, and why Texas as a first expansion state?
Texas is viewed as a standout market due to its strong economic momentum, Dallas' professional environment, and a sizable talent pool. Kiln plans to expand within Texas, starting with Preston Hollow in Dallas and then moving to other growth areas like Plano, Bend, and Reno to capitalize on lifestyle-focused locations with walkable amenities.
Arian Lewis, CEO & Co-Founder, Kiln “Why Coworking Isn’t Dead — It Just Grew Up”
Q: How does Kiln differentiate itself from traditional coworking spaces and from what WeWork popularized?
Kiln focuses on a boutique, community-driven experience that blends work with lifestyle amenities and a values-driven culture, not just space. Their spaces are designed to be inspirational and collaborative, aiming to meet modern workers where they live and how they work, rather than simply providing desks.
