254. Pizza Shop Grows Double Digits during the Pandemic!

I believe that no matter what your concept, you can learn and grow your business from the pizza segment. It’s no surprise that pizza remains one of the strongest concepts in this business before Covid, during the pandemic and now as we emerge from the crisis. I also believe we should all approach our business like the CEO of a fast growing chain with the “Big” picture in mind. In this episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, I’m speaking with Mr. Scott Gittrich, the CEO of Toppers Pizza, www.toppers.com one of the fastest growing pizza chains in the country. Scott set his company up for major success, and this episode is stacked with key-learnings and nuggets for your own operation. Listen as Scott dishes on: - Topper’s Formula of Technology and Innovation that led to 4 straight quarters of Double Digit Sales Growth during much of the pandemic - The constant R & D process to develop new menu items that capture the public’s imagination and repeat business - Staff Training as a true Competitive Advantage - Value-Added Loyalty Programs that keep business coming in the door And the foundational systems at Toppers that maintain consistency of quality, service and cleanliness at each and every location. Listen on, then go out there and ROCK your restaurant!
