Hello, fellow foodpreneurs! In the world of Food and beverage, one thing's for sure: running the core company and managing outlet operations are as different as a steakhouse and a sushi joint. But here's the secret sauce: you, the founder, should focus on the core, while industry experts handle the rest. Here are 5 mouthwatering comparisons to chew on: Recipe vs. Replication   - Core operations are your secret recipe, unique and proprietary.   - Outlet operations are like baking a cake from that recipe. Consistency is key. Innovation vs. Execution   - Core focuses on culinary innovation and brand-building.   - Outlet ensures flawless execution, maintaining the brand's integrity. Leadership vs. Management   - As the founder, you're the visionary leader of the core.   - Outlet operations thrive with seasoned managers who keep things running smoothly. Strategy vs. Tactics   - Core sets the grand strategy for the empire.   - Outlet operations execute tactical plans with precision.

In my time at CHR I have had the opportunity to help some cool brands in the retail space. Our collaboration with these teams, along with our ability to build a tailored strategy, sets us apart from the rest and truly act as an extension of their team. Read this short article by our VP of North American Surface Transportation, Noah Hoffman, where he lays out three key supply chain trends that are top of mind for decision-makers in retail and food & beverage heading into 2024.

Chipotle Mexican Grill's success reminds me of the "performance with purpose" strategy championed by Indra Nooyi during her tenure as PepsiCo's CEO. By aligning their offerings with the values and preferences of their target customers—primarily health-conscious millennials and Gen Z—Chipotle has cultivated a loyal customer base that is driving sustainable growth. Learn more here (https://lnkd.in/e8hsXZg4) on my take if you sit on a Board. This underscores the critical role of the board in overseeing a company's higher purpose and ensuring it resonates with customers. Boards must co-create the strategy by working with senior management to leverage data insights, stay attuned to market dynamics, and identify opportunities for sustained growth that align with the company's values. I counsel CEOs and Boards to oversee purpose-driven strategies as these strategies continue to be a differentiator in the coming years. As we navigate an increasingly complex business landscape, a clear sense of purpose that goes beyond mere profits has become essential. Companies that authentically embrace this approach, as exemplified by Chipotle, are well-positioned for long-term success. What are your thoughts on the connection between purpose and sustainable growth? How can boards effectively guide this alignment? #PurposeDrivenBusiness #SustainableGrowth #BoardLeadership #CEO #KSgems #Purpose Bill George Hamdi Ulukaya Douglas Conant Tariq Farid CECP Manuj Aggarwal "Bo" Subodh Dalvi Ranjay Gulati https://lnkd.in/eTXqwSbp
