So You Want to Run a Restaurant (SYWTRAR) is a podcast exploring the trials, triumphs, and technical difficulties of running a successful restaurant in the always changing, ever-more-competitive North American food and beverage landscape. Powered by Back Of House, the leading independent platform for independent restaurant operators to find, filter, and save on the technology they need to succeed, SYWTRAR is dedicated to celebrating the work, wisdom, and innovation changing the way we’re eating and drinking— today, tomorrow, and beyond.
In this episode, Zach and Claudia discuss the power of food service industry loyalty programs and how they’re helping businesses keep a steady flow of returning customers.
Darel Ross, Co-Owner of Forty Acres Soul Kitchen, talks to us about how his restaurant is celebrating soul food’s authentically American heritage and history and what it represents by inviting everyone to come together to celebrate black culture. Darel also discusses how the team at Forty Acres is supporting a more inclusive and opportunistic environment to bring about real change through their local workforce efforts, hiring practices, and investing their time and energy into multiple socially responsible activities.
