This week on Extra Serving, a podcast from Nation’s Restaurant News, editor-in-chief Sam Oches sits down with Little Greek president and majority partner Nick Vojnovic. Nick is an industry veteran who was previously president of Beef ‘O’ Brady’s for many years, but since 2011 has been scaling the Mediterranean fast casual Little Greek. 

Little Greek Fresh Grill, based in Florida, has about 50 units, mostly in the Southeast. The restaurant chain menu features gyro and warps, skewers with a selection of proteins, Greek salads, and other, lighter options.

In this interview, conducted on the floor of the recent National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, Vojnovic shares his thoughts on the headwinds and tailwinds facing restaurant operators today.
