Take-Away with Sam Oches

Mooyah’s new president shares tips on how operational excellence drives restaurant success


Listen Later

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Michael Meche, president of Mooyah Burgers, Fries and Shakes. Michael has three decades of experience in the restaurant industry, most of that with Papa Johns, where he started as a store employee before working his way up to vice president of franchise operations. He then spent a few years at Capriotti’s and Wing Zone before taking on his current role earlier this summer. Michael has a passion for operational excellence, particularly as it relates to franchisee success, and he’s bringing that passion to Mooyah, the Dallas-based better-burger brand with around 75 locations. He joined the podcast to talk about his philosophy on great operations, franchise growth, and how to turn a minimum wage job into a career you can be passionate about.

 

In this conversation, you’ll find out why:

  • If you don’t know how to run the restaurant, it’s hard to do anything else
  • No matter how fast you scale, don’t forget to grow one restaurant at a time 
  • Great operations are what help you beat the restaurant across the street
  • You should equip your employees with life-long skills
  • The most important thing you can give your team is your time
