Paul is back from the islands and we're diving back into the world.  Hot topics this week involve COVID wildfires, travel, technology and DTC.  Ed details how his restaurants had to adopt  3rd party delivery platforms essentially overnight to keep restaurants afloat at the beginning of the pandemic.  That ultimately meant half of their customer relationships are now controlled by someone else.  Paul is amazed that restaurants surrendered 50% of their customers to 3rd party delivery providers essentially overnight.  

Paul and Ed spend time going over a listener comment from Eric about at-home COVID testing machines.  If you've got a comment or question for the show, you can e-mail us at [email protected].  You can find Paul online @paulsingh and Ed @pizzainmotion.

Oh, and just in case you want to see Paul's "Pit Vipers".....
