Restaurant leaders converged on the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago last month to explore new tools and solutions available to them as they pursue growth.
While optimism seems to have returned for most operators, challenges remain, including high food costs, difficulty in sourcing things like construction materials, and hiring quality talent.
So how are brands that are in growth mode navigating those challenges? Two leaders of fast-casual franchises joined editor in chief Sam Oches in Nation’s Restaurant News’ booth at the Show to share their thoughts on what’s been key to growth even through the past few challenging years.
