Successful Franchising: How to Expand Beyond the Four Walls

As the year winds down, restaurant operators and franchisees find themselves deeply immersed in reflection and planning for the future. Traditional methods of managing and growing a restaurant franchise, while effective, sometimes fall short in addressing the deeper, more strategic elements essential for long-term success. This episode of Fast Casual introduces a fresh, holistic approach to franchising and restaurant management. Join us as we delve into a transformative discussion with Vivian Wang, CEO of Landed, and Loren Bontrager, VP of Franchise and Development at Salad Collective, who share their innovative strategies for nurturing a franchise community, focusing on the overall well-being of franchisees, and adopting a purpose-driven approach to business. You’ll emerge from this conversation with a new perspective on how to build a sustainable, fulfilling, and strategically sound roadmap for your restaurant’s growth and success in the year ahead
