#32 Jess Davis & Tyson Hoffmann | Securing Investment From Former Zambrero Exec's & Building The Next Subway

Jess & Tyson are the founders of Mr Potato, Australia's newest healthy fast food restaurant chain.

They open their first location in December 2018 and now already have over 20 stores opening around the country in the next few months.

The idea for Mr Potato came to them when Tyson was a professional basketball player and his diet mostly consisted of baked potato. Mr Potato was a hit from the day it opened when they sold out of absolutely everything within a couple of hours. By day three, they hired a team of staff and the process of expansion had began.

Due to the rapid growth of Mr Potato, along with their aggressive growth goals, the Adelaide couple has recently welcomed well-known businessman and investor Jack Delosa, and former executives of Zambrero to their team.

In this episode:

• How growing up in broken homes gave both Jess & Tyson the skills of resistance and how that has been used in building the business
• How Jess & Tyson met and how quickly they went all in on the idea that become Mr Potato
• The early days of Mr Potato and what it takes to get a restaurant franchise off the ground
• The advice they would give their younger selves when starting a business and how everyone can action it in their day to day life
• The plan for the future of Mr Potato and how dreaming big has been a massive factor into their success so far and into the future
