    I haven't been to the local McAllisters in years. They cheapened the recipes and raised their prices so much. The side dish sizes are the smallest I've ever seen anywhere. I'd rather go to a real restaurant.

    Some key opportunities missed on this interview. Would have liked to understand their funding strategy, more about their operating structure, key challenges in getting the first one up and running. Lesson learned, what changes have they made going forward for efficiencies in scaling to 100 units. Average cost/time to get units up and running. Etc..a lot was missed here.

    I just come out of Subway and had several stores with one of them being a flagship store. Basically come out bankrupt so please stay away from this brand and run the other way. This is coming from someone with a location that was doing 15k per week. Evil franchise with everything setup to drain every penny from franchisees with absolutely no care regarding the franchisee and their profit or lack thereof. If anyone wants to contact me to help destroy this brand feel free, Ill dedicate my life to the cause.

    Yeah... The idiots screaming for increased minimum wages. They dont realize that the consequences are as follows. Business owners who care about their customers, and dont want to increase prices constantly, will go out of business. The rest will increase prices steadily with increased wages... And those increased wages dont mean anything, because the cost of everyone increased with them. And those of us who worked like hell to get out of those minimum wage jobs, which were always meant for young people in school, or supplemental income for retirees, or parents working part-time while the kids are in school... Those of us who did the right thing for our families and communities... We're screwed over to make the masses of people with no ambition happy. Absolutely ridiculous.

    non living wage jobs are driving up the numbers on available jobs. If you can't afford rent nearby then you can't work those jobs. That's why they can't find workers.

    Hard to listen to this knowing the reality. They don’t follow through on their promises. Countless lives ruined by signing up for these horse power brands franchises. It’s very sad. I wish you would have asked him about the Blingle lawsuit or why so many Mighty Dog owners have had to exit. They make those exiting sign NDAs and they spin their stories. Very sad.
