Potbelly, RaceTrac and the blurring lines of foodservice

from The Week in Restaurants · host Informa Foodservice

On this week’s episode of The Week in Restaurants, we discuss the surprising sale of Potbelly to RaceTrac, and why it is a sign of the growing competition between restaurants and c-stores.We also talk about Portillo’s, which is slowing development plans and ditching breakfast as it looks to focus on the fundamentals at its restaurants.  And we get into some new data on restaurant delivery, prepared exclusively for Restaurant Business by Intouch Insight. In short, restaurants may be losing their pricing power over third-party delivery apps. On Tech Check, it’s a preview of what to look for at the FSTEC conference next week.
