Trial & Error

Whether they’ve grown up in restaurants or are entirely new to the industry, operators have seen hard times and are ready to flip the business model on its head into something that better serves them.

Fed up with the high cost, high-risk investments, operators are now taking a more financially conservative approach to new concepts. Before jumping in to combat rising operations costs, they’ve adopted the prototype mindset of testing, learning, building, and refining. For example, supply chain challenges spark iteration with new products. And labor challenges mean the owner acts like a start-up with a small team wearing the hat of many different roles. Simply put: these operators figure out how to do more with less.

Say goodbye to prohibitively expensive brick-and-mortars and those impossibly thin margins too.

Post-pandemic conditions have leveled the playing field, creating an environment where extensive industry experience is no longer required. What is necessary is an entrepreneurial spirit, a willingness to experiment, and ultimately the desire to rethink the traditional model of what a restaurant “should be.”

Now is the time to do your research, trust your gut, and take a risk that’ll pay off.
