Really glad to have a show that talks to the leaders and shares great restaurant insights on operations.
Incredible interviews with top leaders in the industry. Very educational for those needing insight and tips on staffing an day to day operations.
New to the fast casual food business after a long hiatus (30 yrs) in the pizza busting and this podcast is loaded with information that is crucial if you are in or entering the food industry, the informal is served in a low calorie yet filling format so no need to set aside hours for tasteless boring info you can swing by for half hour or so and leave full of info . Caution it’s addictive
Really great show about the fast/casual food industry.
Each time I wonder when Paul will say “cool” or mention his 20 plus years of tracking industry. Just being funny. Like the podcast with duration of 30 minutes or more.. gives time to explore subjects. Keep up good work
