Operating A Profitable Restaurant

When COVID first hit, dining rooms closed, and businesses dropped 60-70% below where they would normally sit, and operators panicked. They were forced to pick up the pieces of their operations and determine their next moves to stay open, yet still remain in compliance with restrictions. While the independent restaurants have been faced with massive hurdles, there’s been spectacular growth in creativity and grit as they continue to find new ways to build revenue. On the quick-service side, while not out of the woods entirely, franchisees have found some breathing room being able to heavily operate through their drive-throughs. RASI Director of Partnerships, Brad Bertram, sat down with long-time partner Delaget, and Don Kreye, Director Of Partnerships, and Don Bye, Client Success Manager to discuss the ways in which QSR’s have been able to find success during the pandemic.
