#85 - Q & A Session: Round 2

A few weeks back I did a Q&A episode and it's been one of my most popular to date. Not only have there been a ton of downloads, but a bunch of you have reached out with follow-up questions... and new questions... and ideas about the future. I love it. So I decided to do another one. Today we're tackling six burning questions from listeners like you: 

#1) What exactly is a ghost kitchen and how would I set one up? 

#2) In-house delivery versus third-party delivery services? What are the pros and cons of both? 

#3) I can't envision getting rid of wiaters entirely, but I realize that technology can help me out. What are some steps I can take? 

#4) My patrons seem to be nervous about indoor dining? What can I do to make people feel more comfortable? 

#5) I'd like to open my own restaurant. Is it better to come up with a concept and then find the right space? Or find a good location and then build a concept to fit that space? 

#6) Restaurants turning to retail... is this a trend that will continue? What about the other way around?
