    The State of Restaurant Media, with Brian Lowe

    BML Public Relations president and CEO Brian Lowe returns to QSR Uncut after one of our most-listened to episodes to unpack what restaurants need to know about today’s mainstream media landscape. Learn why big, stunty creative engineered for national coverage is OUT. Why spokesperson-driven tips and hyper-local promotions are IN. The power of human-interest stories. How to make a brand splash in an attention-strapped world. The benefit of earned media with AI optimization. Consumer versus FranDev agencies—what’s the difference and why it matters. And much more as we explore key traffic drivers, the answer to opening your restaurant with momentum, and how to keep that buzz going. This episode was brought to you by our partners at BML PR.

    The Future of Plant-Based Burger Chains, with Chris Treloar

    The plant-based restaurant segment has ridden a roller coaster in recent years. From the apex of hype to some brands shutting down to others adopting a hybrid approach, what’s the market today truly look like? PLNT Burger CEO Chris Treloar joins QSR Uncut this week to talk about the future and how the concept has managed to steadily and strategically grow through ebbs and flows in guest demand and competitive action.  Launched with the culinary expertise and Top Chef energy of Spike Mendelsohn, PLNT Burger focuses on a lean operations team, direct-to-vendor cost controls, and ensuring it limits non-food related costs to keep G&A spend relatively low. We get into all of that and explore where the guest might be taking the once-buzzing movement next.
