So You Want to Run a Restaurant is a podcast from Back of House that goes behind the scenes with restaurant owners and operators across the country to talk candidly about the realities of the restaurant business. Each episode dives into the unfiltered realities of running a restaurant - the wins, the challenges, the late nights, and the lessons learned along the way. Whether you work in hospitality or are simply restaurant-curious, you’ll hear real stories and candid insights from the people who live the business every day.
Daniel Frankel, Founder & CEO of Tap & Barrel Group joins us for a conversation exploring Canada’s craft beer scene. In just under ten years, Tap & Barrel Group has become the largest purchaser of craft beer in the B.C. province of Canada. The restaurants are well known for their marquee locations, environmental stewardship (they’ve eliminated a whopping 1 million bottles and their locations are built using 80% reclaimed materials), and commitment to supporting local purveyors of food, beverages, and art. If you love the craft beer world, you won’t want to miss this one!
In this episode, Zach and Claudia also talk about the rise of booze-to-go, e-commerce and the ups and downs of alcohol delivery.
