3️⃣ Lessons I’m Learning (One of my buddies is about to break ground on a food truck park in Kingsport. Here’s what I e gleaned from the process.) 1. Vision: Lesson: “Casting Vision” A successful food truck park starts with a clear and compelling vision. The ability to articulate and communicate this vision will be key to attracting customers, vendors, investors, and supporters. The lesson here is that having a strong vision not only guides the business but also inspires others to join in and contribute to its success. 2. Resilience: Lesson: Overcoming Obstacles Launching any business, including a food truck park, involves facing numerous challenges. From regulatory hurdles to unexpected setbacks, resilience is crucial. Travis’s determination to persevere, adapt, and learn from setbacks will be instrumental in navigating the inevitable obstacles that come with this. 3. Collaboration: Lesson: “Fostering Partnerships • Building a successful food truck park involves collaborating with a diverse range of stakeholders such as food truck owners, local authorities, vendors, and the community. Your friend’s ability to foster positive relationships, leverage collective expertise, and create win-win partnerships will be instrumental in creating a thriving ecosystem. Collaboration not only expands networks but also fosters innovation and sustainable growth. These lessons can serve as valuable insights not only for aspiring entrepreneurs but also for professionals looking to enhance their skills in vision casting, resilience, and collaboration in any industry. https://lnkd.in/eDqJFDXc #kingsporttn #foodtruck

This is a smart move indeed. By offering a different delivery system Chick-Fil-A has developed a new revenue source for the company. This concept is a positive result from a now mostly defunct concept, the ghost kitchen or virtual restaurant. This works for Chick-Fil-A for the following reasons: - They're an established brand that has a strong following for their food. - The concept will be supported by a well run existing infrastructure. - Their offering, mainly fried chicken sandwiches, are well suited for this type of model. Some questions to still be answered: - Will this concept be successful or is it too far removed from the original experience? - What other brands will follow suit? - How does this concept fit into their franchise model? Will franchisees be able to now own a brick-and-mortar AND a digital only concept (assuming they want one)? https://lnkd.in/dR8D3Ffi

Fantastic breakdown of where the dollars go. Well done Los Angeles Times & Heather Sperling / BOTANICA. Neighborhood gathering points, and independent businesses that invest in their workers, farmers, communities — love the story line here, the transparency & moving off the bummer angle of restaurant ownership I so often see. Would if this was a collection of features? Looking into some of our favorite restaurants and WHY they cost what they cost instead of focusing on WHAT they cost. This is an idea. 💡 https://lnkd.in/dEcfPisU

We sat down with Carlos Salazar at Filomena's Italian Kitchen to learn more about his story and the journey that led him to Robin. As an owner and operator of several restaurants, we knew his insight and experience would be worth sharing. Carlos started a restaurant called Roman’s Mexican Taqueria 25 years ago. After many years of success, he made the decision to grow his business by purchasing the restaurant next door, Filomena’s, a prominent Italian restaurant in Costa Mesa, CA. With this expansion came an opportunity for him to reduce overhead by sharing kitchens, and streamlining operations between neighboring, physical storefronts. His challenge? Understanding customer trends, and how to optimize menus for walk-in vs third-party delivery. Why were some nights busier than others? Why were some foods selling better than others? Focus on dine-in, or delivery? This is where his journey with Robin began. #restaurant #restauranttech #startup
