Don't miss out on the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout, where hosts Michael Schatzberg, fondly known as "The Restaurant Guy," and Jimmy Frischling, "The Finance Guy," dive deep into a compelling chat with food industry guru Rob Ertmann, CEO of Mo' Bettahs. This episode offers a delicious blend of insights and entertainment guaranteed to sate your curiosity about restaurant tech trends and Hawaiian food.

From humble beginnings at a pizza shop to leading the helm at Mo' Bettahs, Ertmann guides us through his flavorful journey in the food industry, coupled with the joy of serving mouth-watering Hawaiian delicacies. A true testament to their success, Mo' Bettahs is set to celebrate their 15th anniversary with the launch of their 44th store, signaling an impressive doubling in outlets over a mere 24-month period. Ertmann teases the expansion won't stop there, with Las Vegas, Houston, and Phoenix on the restaurant's horizon.

You won't want to miss the discussion about the transformative partnership between Mo' Bettahs and Savory Fund. Ertmann is enthusiastic as he recounts how, when Mo' Bettahs was just a six-unit operation, the Savory Fund stepped in to provide the expert support they desperately needed. From finance and IT to accounting and payroll, the Savory Fund offered them the tools to scale their operation effectively and efficiently, all the way to their 22nd store.


Ertmann highlights the warmth and intelligence of the Savory team, which allowed him to transition all operations in-house, now led by a dedicated Mo' Bettahs team. Nevertheless, the benefits of their partnership with the Savory Fund continue. Ertmann is grateful for the ongoing counsel, coaching, and support he receives from Savory's exceptional team. Their guidance has been instrumental in Mo' Bettahs' success and the continued evolution of the brand.


Unraveling the tech-infused operations at Mo' Bettahs, Ertmann describes their successful partnerships with tech heavyweights such as "Thanks," Ovation, and Olo. These collaborations have fueled significant customer engagement, a ballooning loyalty database, and streamlined third-party delivery integration into their POS system. However, while Ertmann embraces technology's role in the sector, he doesn't lose sight of the integral role of human capital. For him, tech should support but never supplant the core values of high-quality food, excellent service, and a well-trained team.

As the conversation whips to future trends, Ertmann voices his interest in the increasing influence of AI in the restaurant industry. Schatzberg, on the other hand, dishes out his excitement about the rising trend of automation and robotics, eager to see how these advancements can replace repetitive tasks.

Want a taste of this fascinating banter mixed with a dash of the "Food Service Feud"? Tune in to the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout. And remember, in the end, it's all about the people, the tech, and of course, the food.

In the newest episode of Hospitality Hangout, Michael Schatzberg, known as "The Restaurant Guy," and Jimmy Frischling, "The Finance Guy," host a riveting conversation with industry veteran Marc Bruno, the Chief Operating Officer at Aramark. Bruno, who leads ten of Aramark's U.S. food and facilities divisions, offers a deep dive into his personal journey, which took him from a summer intern to a driving force in the company's growth strategy and commitment to service excellence.


Hailing from a Chicago family with a restaurant background, Bruno's lifelong passion for the food industry led him to hotel school and ultimately an internship at Aramark. After spending three decades with the company, Bruno has climbed the corporate ladder, progressing from intern to COO.


Bruno shares anecdotes from his vast experience, which includes leading Aramark's dining and catering services for 17 Olympic Games, starting with the 1996 Atlanta Games, and providing everyday food service to millions worldwide. Bruno underscores the thrill of working in a sector marked by its diversity, complexity, and the chance to serve customers from all walks of life.


He also sheds light on Aramark's evolution from Automated Retailers of America, a vending firm, to a global service provider, serving an extensive client base across various industries. Aramark's offerings have broadened to include facilities management and uniform services, adding to their operation's complexity.


In a significant disclosure, Bruno revealed that Aramark is preparing to spin off its Uniform Services division into a separate public entity, a strategic decision he believes will benefit both the businesses and the shareholders.


The conversation also touches upon Bruno's debunking of a myth that credits him with discovering Seamless Web. Instead, he details how the online food ordering service was pitched to his then employer, later becoming integrated into Aramark's delivery services. He highlights the strategic success of Aramark's acquisition of Seamless Web in 2006, a move that significantly influenced the delivery market landscape.


Discussing Aramark's acquisition and partnership strategy, Bruno underscores the company's focus on scalable enhancements, technological innovation, and talent acquisition. He also emphasizes Aramark's role as a prominent franchiser and partner of well-recognized brands, aiming to enrich customer experience across their service locations, including college campuses, hospitals, and stadiums.

In the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout, broadcast from The National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, hosts Michael Schatzberg "The Restaurant Guy", Jimmy Frischling "The Finance Guy", and special guest Sterling Douglass, Co-Founder & CEO of Chowly, interviewed Joe Donnelly, Group Director & Publisher of Informa’s Restaurant & Food Group. The discussion centered on Informa's recent acquisition of Winsight, a company offering services in data, analytics, events, and content marketing for the foodservice industry.


Winsight, with its portfolio of clients, is expected to enhance Informa's capabilities in delivering superior enterprise experience to all its restaurant clients, regardless of size. Donnelly explained that this acquisition would bolster Informa's position in the foodservice sector, especially as it already owns considerable assets in this industry across Asia. Combining these resources with Winsight and Informa's existing Nation's Restaurant News assets, they anticipate a substantial growth in their vertical.


The merger of Informa and Winsight is viewed as part of the ongoing trend of consolidation in the foodservice industry, where restaurant groups and tech companies integrate to drive synergies. Donnelly highlighted that the integration process would focus on two key aspects – creating improved experiences for their audiences and attendees and increasing ROI for their customers. Informa anticipates that bringing together the assets of Winsight and its own offerings will substantially benefit the industry.

Schatzberg, Frischling, and Douglass expressed their enthusiasm for the acquisition, appreciating the potential synergies between Informa and Winsight, and looking forward to this consolidation's future contributions to the restaurant and foodservice industry.

In the most recent episode of Hospitality Hangout, hosts Michael Schatzberg, "The Restaurant Guy," and Jimmy Frischling, "The Finance Guy," welcomed Adam Golomb, the Chief Executive Officer of Primanti Bros., as their guest. The podcast delved into the remarkable journey and ongoing success of Primanti Bros., a renowned restaurant known for its iconic sandwiches since 1933. Golomb shared valuable insights, shedding light on the brand's expansion, virtual brands, technology integration, and his personal experiences.

Primanti Bros., now celebrating its 90th anniversary, began its journey in Pittsburgh back in 1933. Today, the chain has grown significantly, with 41 open restaurants across four states and four more under construction, projecting 45 locations by year-end. Golomb emphasized the brand's fame, owing to its signature sandwich: a combination of choice meats, coleslaw, French fries, tomato, and provolone cheese, all packed between two fresh-baked Italian bread slices.

When discussing how Primanti Bros. ensures its long-standing brand remains attractive and relevant, Golomb emphasized the importance of staying true to their core identity while expanding the menu to cater to a broader audience. In addition to their renowned sandwiches, the restaurant now offers freshly baked New York-style pizza, spicy wings, salads, and burgers, acknowledging the diverse preferences of their customers. Golomb also highlighted their digital-first approach, utilizing technology to drive the business and adapting rapidly during the pandemic.

During the podcast, Golomb highlighted Primanti Bros. introduction of three virtual brands—18th Street Pizza, Wing Nut, and Get Loaded. These concepts diversify the menu and have become top-selling items alongside the famous sandwiches. The hosts inquired about the performance and demand for these virtual brands, to which Golomb expressed the positive response from consumers. However, he also acknowledged the challenges posed by third-party delivery companies, which often resist including virtual brands on their platforms. Golomb emphasized the need to find solutions that maintain sales and navigate the evolving landscape of the delivery market.

The conversation also touched upon Primanti Bros. limited-time offerings (LTOs), which occur every six to eight weeks. These LTOs introduce new cycles of culinary creations, keeping the menu fresh and exciting. While they previously experimented with monthly LTOs, operational challenges led them to adjust the frequency to ensure smooth supply chain management. Adam Golomb unveiled the current LTO at Primanti Bros., Hot Honey. This unique and enticing offering further exemplifies the brand's commitment to innovation and delighting their customers with distinct flavors.

Additionally, Golomb shared breaking news during the podcast, announcing Primanti Bros. first-ever amusement park location at Pittsburgh's renowned Kennywood Park. He expressed the brand's excitement about the venture, which involves remodeling an existing concession stand to celebrate both Primanti Bros. 90th year and Kennywood Park's 125th anniversary.

The conversation also touched upon Primanti Bros. strategic use of technology and their commitment to being a digital-first company. Golomb discussed their complex tech stack and the importance of selecting best-in-breed solutions that integrate seamlessly with their existing systems. The goal is to enhance sales, improve guest experiences, and streamline operations. The CEO emphasized their openness to exploring new technologies and evaluating their impact on driving sales and benefiting the team and customers.

Golomb further engaged in the segment of the podcast, where “Two Truths and a Lie” about his past were shared. Schatzberg and Frischling made their guesses, so be sure to tune into this episode to get the answer.

Through this conversation, listeners can gain insights into Primanti Bros. enduring success, innovative strategies, expansion plans, and Golomb's personal experiences. With their iconic sandwiches, virtual brands, and emphasis on technology integration, Primanti Bros. continues to evolve while staying true to its roots, providing a delightful dining experience for patrons worldwide.
