Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Craftable’s Cantu on Boosting Restaurant Profits
Q: Was part of your work with Fonda San Miguel connected to their brunch and its profitability?
Yes, the brunch was popular but not profitable due to waste and overproduction; the takeaway was that you must align operations with data-driven profitability to sustain long-term success.
Craftable’s Cantu on Boosting Restaurant Profits
Q: Why is back-office purchasing, inventory, and AP the next big thing in restaurant tech?
Because modern AI-powered back-office tools can process large data sets, identify patterns, and deliver actionable signals throughout the day, not just at month-end reconciliations, enabling real-time decision making and significant margin improvements.
Craftable’s Cantu on Boosting Restaurant Profits
Q: So you ran restaurants before moving to the tech side. What drew you to the industry?
My hands-on experience managing restaurants showed me how much money was leaking due to gaps in data, forecasting, and back-office efficiency. I wanted to apply technology to fix those leakages and empower operators with financial clarity and better guest experiences.
Dog Haus Aims to Disrupt the Franchised Model
Q: Why focus on an area-director model and decentralization rather than centralized control?
Local experts know regional opportunities and barriers better; decentralization accelerates growth by enabling targeted, profitable expansion while keeping corporate oversight on key metrics and real estate strategy.
Dog Haus Aims to Disrupt the Franchised Model
Q: What is the four-part growth plan and how does it support long-term expansion?
The plan emphasizes tightening unit economics, simplifying menu and operations, reducing capital requirements for new stores, and leveraging strong marketing partnerships to achieve scalable growth with improved efficiency.
