Why a choosy investor opted to invest in a major 7 Brew franchisee

What goes into an investment into one of the country’s fastest growing restaurant brands? This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Scott Romanoff, the cofounder and co managing partner of Franchise Equity Partners. Franchise Equity Partners is a long-term investor in multi-unit operators of all types and recently made a big investment in 7 Crew, a 50-unit franchisee of the rapidly growing beverage brand 7 Brew. The beverage chain has been one of the fastest-growing restaurant chains in the country. It is also helping to lead a beverage revolution in the restaurant space. We wanted to ask Scott about that investment and about 7 Brew. We discuss the brand and why it was worth the investment. Scott talked about the operator and why its ability to grow locations was so attractive. We also discussed the environment of the past couple of years and why that’s made Franchise Equity Partners more choosy about its investments. We’re talking 7 Brew on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.

Why restaurants may be missing an opportunity on delivery

Are restaurants missing a key opportunity on delivery? This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Cameron Watt, the CEO of secret shopper firm Intouch Insight. Intouch recently completed an exclusive study on delivery for Restaurant Business and we’re chatting about some of the conclusions. We caught up with Cameron at the recently concluded FSTEC conference. The study featured some fascinating results. For one thing, first-party delivery on average isn’t much better, performance-wise, than it is ordering from third-party delivery companies themselves. That may be a missed opportunity for restaurants. Cameron and I talk about that. We also talk about the growing influence of third-party delivery companies and the overall results from the study. And we talked about what restaurant companies can do to improve the delivery experience for customers. We’re talking delivery on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.

On McDonald's head-scratching stand on the tip credit

Why is McDonald’s taking on the tip credit? This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive takes a hard look at the fast-food giant’s stand on the tip credit, which enables businesses to pay a subminimum wage to tipped workers, so long as the tips make up the difference. We feature three guests on this podcast: Saru Jayaraman, the president and cofounder of the labor advocacy group One Fair Wage; Martin Murch, an independent restaurant operator out of Chicago, and Joe Kefauver, managing partner of Align Public Strategies and cohost of the Working Lunch podcast. (Working Lunch also looked at the topic last week.) We examine the tip credit, why McDonald’s and labor groups are against the wage and why many full-service restaurants believe they need it to remain in business. We also examine McDonald’s strategy in taking the topic on, and why it would choose to leave the National Restaurant Association over the issue. We also examine whether it really does give full-service restaurants an advantage. We’re taking on the tip credit on A Deeper Dive so check it out.
