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 and foodservice business.
Whether you're dreaming of opening your first restaurant or already in the thick of it, this podcast has unfiltered stories, restaurant management and operations tips, and the lessons that only come from actually living in the foodservice industry.
Each episode dives into the wins, the challenges, the late nights, and everything in between - straight from the people who run the show every day.
Whether you work in hospitality or you're simply restaurant-curious, pull up a seat. There's a story here for you.
In this episode, we interview entrepreneur Joelle Parenteau, Founder and Owner of Wolf Down. With locations in both the USA and Canada, Wolf Down is known for its hyper-focused, Berlin inspired street food menu—especially their mouthwatering German Döner that can be made for meat-lovers or vegans.
Joelle shares how she’s managed to nimbly run her business like a tech startup, the technology she can’t live without and her love for third party delivery. She also dives into Wolf Down’s hiring practices (no resumes allowed) and the team-building culture she’s created at her restaurants.
You’ll also get to hear hosts Zach and Claudia chat about the enormous impact of street food on eating culture and how it’s breaking down social and economic barriers for the food industry.
