  • How Pepper Lunch is breaking into the U.S. market
    Jul 24 2024

    How does an international restaurant chain break into the toughest market in the world?

    This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Troy Hooper, the CEO of Pepper Lunch.

    Pepper Lunch is a Japanese fast-casual chain in which customers largely cook the food themselves. It is part of a generation of concepts with unique business models that are rapidly establishing themselves in a U.S. market hungry for more Asian fare that provides interesting experiences.

    Hooper became the CEO of Pepper Lunch last year. We wanted him on the podcast to talk about this brand and what he’s done to establish the concept in the U.S. It’s tough to break into this market, and he can provide some unique perspective on what it takes to do so. Hooper talks about what makes the brand tick and discusses its recent menu overhaul and how that fits into its plans. We talk about its unique menu overhaul and why Asian chains are taking off right now.

    It's a fascinating discussion with one of the country’s more interesting emerging brands, so please check it out.

  • Why restaurants are losing customers
    Jul 18 2024
    Why are restaurants losing customers right now? This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features R.J. Hottovy, head of analytical research with Placer.ai. Hottovy has followed the restaurant industry for years, and the foot traffic data firm has been tracking customer counts to restaurants and retailers. In November, Placer.ai noted traffic suddenly falling to Starbucks shops, foretelling a sales challenge the coffee giant has dealt with all year. We wanted Hottovy on the podcast to talk about these issues and about why restaurants are losing traffic. We also talked about the specific challenges facing Starbucks. We also get into plenty of other topics. Please check it out.

  • Why platform companies are buying so many small chains
    Jul 10 2024

    Why is it better for small restaurant chains to band together?

    This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Kelly Roddy, CEO of the brand platform company Woworks.

    Woworks operates several restaurant concepts, including Saladworks, Garbanzo Mediterranean, Frutta Bowls, Simple Greek, Barberitos and ZEats.

    It is one of a growing number of platform companies that collect small concepts, and these companies have been gobbling up a lot of brands lately. The idea is that they can get stronger buying power and therefore cheaper prices for franchisees, at least in theory.

    They can also invest in technology. We asked Kelly about that and how it works.

    We also ask about the market for mergers and acquisitions. Woworks is apparently in the market for a new chain and we talk about that, what the market is like, what kinds of companies they’re looking for and how they could fit in.

    We’re talking brand collecting on A Deeper Dive, so please check it out.
