Take-Away with Sam Oches

How one fast casual prepared itself for a big expansion push


Listen Later

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Michelle Bythewood, president of Salata, a Houston-based fast casual that’s preparing to open its 90th location. With Bythewood as leader, Salata has spent the past few years updating its brand, team and restaurant design — all as it prepares for a big expansion push. She joins the podcast to talk about the steps restaurants should take ahead of growth and what she sees as the path to becoming a billion-dollar brand.

 

In this conversation, you’ll find out why:

  • Customization is here to stay, particularly in healthy eating
  • Plenty of guests still want to go inside restaurants — even if they don’t dine in
  • Smaller footprints with pick-up windows are still the future
  • The customers of today and tomorrow want to understand and connect with your purpose
  • You’re only going to go as far as your team will take you
