About this episode

Welcome to the first episode of The Food Service Growth Show.

In this episode, we're excited to be joined by Christian Mouysset, Co-founder of Hummus Brothers and Tenzo, as he shares his insights and experiences on scaling from one location to multiple locations and running day-to-day operations.

As any restaurant owner knows, expanding from one location to multiple locations can be a daunting challenge. There are many factors to consider, from maintaining consistent quality and customer experience to managing logistics and overhead costs. Christian Mouysset knows this all too well, having successfully grown his own restaurant chain, Hummus Brothers from a single location to multiple locations.

In this podcast, Carl and Christian dive into the challenges of scaling a restaurant chain and discuss the strategies that have helped Christian achieve success. One key theme throughout the conversation is the importance of optimizing processes. Christian emphasizes the need to streamline operations and eliminate waste wherever possible, to ensure that each location is running as efficiently as possible.

Christian also shares his insights on which key performance indicators (KPIs) to focus on when managing multiple locations. He stresses the importance of tracking metrics such as sales per labor hour and food cost percentage, to ensure that each location is profitable and sustainable.

Another topic that Carl and Christian explore is menu development. Christian shares his experiences with developing menus that are both delicious and scalable and discusses why reducing the number of ingredients used has been a game-changer for his restaurants. By simplifying the menu, Christian has been able to improve consistency and reduce waste, while still offering a variety of options for his customers.

Throughout the podcast, Carl shares practical tips and insights for restaurant owners who are looking to scale their businesses. From the importance of maintaining consistent branding across multiple locations, to the benefits of investing in training and development programs for staff, there's plenty of valuable information for anyone looking to grow their restaurant chain.

If you are looking to take your restaurant business to the next level, this podcast episode is packed with practical advice and inspiration. 

So grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy the first episode of The Food Service Growth Show!
