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.
We’re kicking off Season 1 with a conversation on where the restaurant industry’s at today, and where we’re headed in the months and years ahead.
In this episode, Zach and Claudia talk plant-based meats and then explore the future of restaurants with Mandy Tahvonen, VP & Managing Director of Relish Works.
