"You need good systems and processes to grow"

Paul Wise's father left his construction business in 1996 to start Christianos Pizza, and nearly twenty years later Paul and his siblings have grown and run the successful three-location business. Paul talks about always wanting to learn about the restaurant business, even though he's been involved with it since he was eleven years old. He offers great advice on learning not to grow too fast, how to ensure you have the right systems and processes in place before you grow, why it's so critical to invest into hiring the right kind of people, owing your building vs. leasing, great books for people interested in the restaurant business, and more. Paul is both a student of the game and a successful player, and this interview is chock full of good advice. Enjoy...
