In episode 5 of The SaaS Cafe, we're joined by Art Andreasyan, co-founder of Bread & Breakfast, a two-location Armenian/Mexican fusion restaurant in North Hollywood and Burbank, California.

Art shares his experience of finally owning his own business, only to be immediately blindsided by the COVID-19 pandemic. They survived on the back of a viral Instagram post, but now face massive egg costs amid the 2nd Bird Flu wave. Still thriving, can anything take this business down?
