A look at the unfulfilled promise of Noodles & Company

Anybody want to buy some Noodles?This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast The Week in Restaurants looks at the potential sale process at Noodles & Company, which has not quite fulfilled the promise it had when it went public more than a decade ago. We also talk about closures at Smokey Bones and what that says about the chain, and about the barbecue sector. In addition, we talk about McDonald’s value war. In addition, Senior Tech Editor Joe Guszkowski talks AI.
