The restaurant business like a giant oak tree… With large branches growing off of a big solid trunk And smaller branches growing off the big branches and still other branches growing off those branches And – we even have new branches that grow off the trunk from time to time… When we look BACK at our industry – it is a labyrinth of interwoven parts - That kinda make sense – BUT when we try to look forward – it’s IMPOSSIBLE to predict where this is all going. BUT - that is what we are going to discuss today – I am going share with you My thoughts on where I think the branches are heading so you can decide which part of this amazing business you want to be in… or at least start moving toward.
