Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 53: Brian Weavel of Perfect Crust Pizza Liners
Q: What role does social media play for pizzerias today and how should operators manage it?
Social media is free and powerful advertising; stay positive, respond to issues promptly, and use it to showcase great products and community involvement rather than engaging in negativity.
Episode 53: Brian Weavel of Perfect Crust Pizza Liners
Q: How did your operator background influence your approach as a sales rep for packaging products?
It gave me credibility and empathy; I understand the daily challenges operators face, so I can offer practical, experience-based guidance rather than just selling a product.
Episode 47: Jamie Cecil of Mellow Mushroom
Q: What made Mellow Mushroom an intriguing opportunity for you, and what about the brand resonated with you?
Jamie shares his long-time admiration for the brand, the surprising fact it operates as a franchise with over 160 locations, and his sense that this was the right moment to help scale the concept while preserving its identity.
Episode 49: Jon Bortles of Woody's Wood-Fired Pizza
Q: How did the buffet model come about and what makes it work specifically for your operation?
The buffet emerged as the most practical way to manage high volume in a family-friendly setting, offering customization and value; constant training to manage waste and turnover is key, with careful pizza rotation to maintain quality.
