Why doesn’t Handel’s Homemade Ice cream have an app?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Jennifer Schuler, CEO of the Ohio-based Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream.

This is a great conversation. Handel’s was founded in Youngstown Ohio in 1945. It has been franchising for decades. But it has taken off last year—sales rose 38%.

Schuler was named CEO early last year and we wanted to talk with her about the brand and its strategies.
