Troy has quite a bit to share with us regarding the growth of the organization including building out a tech stack for an international operation. How is he going to pull it off? Tune in and find out!

Joining the show today is our special guest, Nabeel, CEO and Co-Founder of Lunchbox. Nabeel was born in Bangladesh, moved to Kuwait 7 years later, and to Queens, New York 7 years after that. Nabeel began his career as the first busboy at the Bareburger flagship store in Astoria, and spent his free time devising marketing objectives for the CEO. In 2019 he founded Lunchbox, a next-gen online ordering company, that was built out of the frustration of trying to build his own digital ordering system at Bareburger. In just a short period, Lunchbox has established itself as the premiere product in the digital ordering space, partnering with industry leaders such as Firehouse Subs, Papa Gino's, Clean Juice, Wings Over, Bareburger and more.Today's show is NOT about Lunchbox. It is about AI and the new, free AI application that can be found online to allow restaurants generate food pictures for their online ordering guests. We take this much further into the legalities around intellectual properties, regulation and the future of this technology.We have some fundamental differences of opinion around the IP side of things but, at the end of the day, we are all trying to figure out where this all lands and are in it together.How To Contact MeWebsite: https://SkipKimpel.com (all archived shows and show notes will be posted here)Website: https://ConStrata.ioInstagram: https://instagram.com/skipkimpelTwitter: https://twitter.com/skipkimpelFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/skipkimpel1/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/skipkimpelLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/constrata-consultingYou can also hear all these new episodes on the ConStrata website at ConStrata.ioEmail me at skip.kimpel@constrata.ioWhat's up next?Busy and crazy times in our industry right now.

Today, I have another special guest that I recorded while I was at MURTEC recently. Kevin Seo and I had the opportunity to present a fire chat at the show on the Metaverse 101. I thought it only fair to sit down with him and record, 1-on-1, for all of you, our thoughts on this matter and share it here on this show.Kevin is truly a superstar in this space. He started in Fortune 500, leading to side hustling through e-commerce and into start-ups, always being the loudest brand voice in the room. Kevin left his corporate, white picket fence dream to chase something bigger than himself. Focusing on community building and innovation, teamed up with a couple of partners to create Bored and Hungry, Food Fighters Universe and Secret Sauce Society. Kevin is determined to create amazing memories for communities through branded concepts, food experiences and building unforgettable life changing technology.You will quickly realize why Kevin is the Chief Megaphone and Co-Founder for these companies and why he is always the loudest voice in the room.

I will keep it under wraps for now, which means you are going to have to tune in next Tuesday to find out who it is!

Today, as promised, is our 2023 MURTEC recap show. It was a short two weeks ago we were gathered together at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas right in the middle of one of the best conferences I have been to in a very long time. Anybody who has listened to this show for any length of time knows that a recap show is a must for anybody who did not have a chance to attend OR did not have a chance to see all the sessions. Having said that, time is too short on this show to talk about every single fire chat, keynote and breakout session that was available, however, my colleague (Toby Malbec) and I dig into some interesting aspects of the show. Hopefully you will enjoy this quick 30 minute, jam packed episode of all the informative and fun stuff surrounding MURTEC. I have one more surprise for you related to the show so scroll down to find out what's coming next week!How To Contact MeWebsite: https://SkipKimpel.com (all archived shows and show notes will be posted here)Website: https://ConStrata.ioInstagram: https://instagram.com/skipkimpelTwitter: https://twitter.com/skipkimpelFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/skipkimpel1/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skipkimpelLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/skipkimpelLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/constrata-consultingYou can also hear all these new episodes on the ConStrata website at ConStrata.ioEmail me at skip.kimpel@constrata.ioNext Week's ShowWhile at MURTEC , I had the honor to host a kickoff fire chat with Kevin Seo for a session on the metaverse and breaking it down to it's basics and the power behind the potential of where this technology is headed and, most importantly, how it could potentially impact you in the restaurant and hospitality world. Shortly after the public session, I sat down with Kevin 1-on-1 and we had a discussion around this so that I could bring it to you here on The Tech Chef. Next Tuesday is a MUST HEAR episode!

Focusing on outputs and productivity, in and of themselves is insufficient. For the growth of a business to be maintained long term, the humanity aspect cannot be overlooked or downplayed. Understanding how people can work together, utilizing each other's strengths, shoring up each other's weaknesses, is necessary for both the business and its people to thrive.To discuss the humanity of long game business, I have with me (Kyle) for this podcast episode Mark Abbott, Visionary/Founder and CEO of Ninety.io. Mark shares how necessary it is to recognize the humanity of others and the importance of playing the right game, not just the lowest cost provider game. This works hand in hand with knowing yourself, having a coach to help you see things more clearly, and then structuring your business appropriately.“In order to have long term-oriented success, you need to create an environment where people can play the long game, and enjoy playing the long game… So the humanity is creating an environment where 1+1+1 = 5.” -- Mark AbbottWhat You'll LearnResiliency through humanityPlaying the right gameCharacteristics of entrepreneursBenefits of having a coachStructure then peopleThree dimensions of trustThe age of coachingRecommended ResourcesConnect with Mark AbbottMark is the Visionary/Founder and CEO of Ninety.io, an innovative, cloud-based business operating system (BOS) that helps organizations focus, align, and thrive.

Well, I think I am finally done traveling for business for the year AND I believe I have been to my last two conferences of the year since we last chatted. I was down the road from my home here in Ft Lauderdale and attended HT-Next as well as the Immerse Global Summit. I have to tell you, both of these conferences were amazing and I spent the two days down in Miami conference hopping as they were both in the same building. To be honest with you, it was not my intention to go to the Immerse conference as it was not until I had checked into the hotel did I realize what it was. I had to walk past it every morning and kept seeing some pretty amazing vendors that were there so I looked it up online. It was all about virtual and augmented reality hardware and software. Most of the companies there, including universities were working on training tools for other industries. I had a fascinating time!Today, joining the show, is Sean Thompson, the IT Director for the fast-casual restaurant franchise Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. He oversees the business intelligence and data science team and the execution of Freddy's global communications platforms. Thompson and his team work to deliver technology solutions to the restaurants as well as the franchise support teams, including construction, training, marketing, accounting, and operations. Recent projects have included a system-wide conversion to a universal Point of Sale, launching an all-new digital platform for ordering and loyalty, and starting up an internal support team for the more than 450 Freddy's locations nationwide. Before Freddy's, Thompson ran his consulting company and Managed Service Provider.All of us that follow the industry news know that seeing them in a headline, about once a week, is not uncommon.

I hope you had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving week last week. Hopefully you were able to get some extra time off to spend with your friends and family. I know that in our industries, that may have been your busiest time and that may not have been possible. For those of you lucky ones that DID have time off, now it is “go-time” to prepare for Christmas and the holidays next month. Since we last spoke I attended the Digital Signage Experience along with the Restaurant Finance and Development Conference. RFDC was probably one of the best showing of operators, at any one event, in a very long time. Lots of takeaways from that event and excellent networking in the beautiful Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. While I was there, I was able to sit down with a good friend of mind and talk about what it looks like to run a restaurant chain that is heavily franchised. The do's and don'ts of a successful tech stack and how to properly get the buy-in for procuring and deploying new technology.Today, I am honored to have Zerrick Pearson, the Chief Information Officer for Five Guys Enterprises, L.L.C., a global company that operates more than 1750 franchise and company-operated restaurants domestically and internationally. Zerrick is responsible for developing and implementing information technology initiatives across the Enterprise. Having been born into the restaurant industry, Zerrick has been involved in restaurant operations for almost 25 years. Prior to his time with Five Guys, Zerrick held the position of Vice President of Information Technology with a publicly traded Washington, DC based Company. While there Zerrick managed all IT initiatives, bridging the gap between IT, Finance and Operations.Zerrick is a board member of the IFBTA, RTN and various other industry specific IT organizations.

Happening this week is the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Associations Show as well as the MURTEC Executive Summit. If you will be at the Florida show, remember, I will be speaking on web3 and how it is impacting the restaurant industry. Lots of fun, cool, interactive elements to this presentation so it would be worth your effort to come see it. And of course, the MURTEC Executive summit will be amazing, as it always is. There is always great content at that show and, from what I have seen, this one will be no exception. Please reach out to me later this week to tell me how it was and what your biggest takeaways were.As promised, today's show is a continuation of last week's show where I recorded this episode live at the Menches Bros. NFT minting party. I won't go into detail about that as you can go back and listen to the previous episode. On site, however, a huge group from Metaversal, the company behind bringing this project to fruition, was onsite to help support the Menches Bros. team. While I was there, I was able to sit down some of the Metaversal team members including the CEO, Yosi Hasson, the creative director, Sam Brukhman and the project manager, Erin Thompson. Combined, this gave me the opportunity to learn more about the scope of what they do, what their vision is and how they are looking to help other small restaurant brands.They are new to our industries so this will be a great opportunity for you to get to know more about Metaversal, what they do and how they do it.

There are so many aspiring backend developers that believe that it's IMPOSSIBLE to land a backend role as their first position. It's just not true. This episode aims to provide support, but also realistic expectations of the mindset needed to become a backend developer. Quite frankly, many coding bootcamps are falling short of properly preparing people for these roles.As a bonus, what started as me wanting to pull as much advice as I could from Rob, for developers aiming for backend roles, turned into a long episode LOADED with advice for all aspiring web developers.

Sonciary Pérez, Co-Founder of Quala.io, shares her startup journey on this show. Her startup journey is a mixture of building a product and solving problems in an area she is passionate about.Pérez talks about customer success for B2B SaaS companies. In a highly competitive environment, it all boils down to cost and features. Customer success is the lifeline that ensures the SaaS company is in touch with its customers. They use this opportunity to help them make the most of features to justify their clients' spending. These interactions are human-centered and have a lot of variation among them. Pérez uses her experience to find out which areas to automate and use tech in.The experience that led to the use of technology for customer success was actually a stressful one. In her previous role at Promoboxx, they churned their largest customer. With reflection and retrospect, Pérez identified this as not having the right warning signals ahead of time — something the solution she has since built could have helped avoid.Pérez wraps up the discussion on an encouraging note. As a veteran startup founder, she knows the rigors and difficulties of the journey. Choose something you are passionate about to embark on. Focus on your grit and intensity, and the rewards will be well worth it at the end of that journey. Listeners who love technology and are looking to boost their value with customers can gain a lot of inspiration and insight from this episode. LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonciary/Website - quala.ioEmail - sonciary@quala.ioThis episode is brought to you by Content Allies.Content Allies helps B2B tech companies launch revenue-generating podcasts.

As business owners, our goal is mostly focused on building and growing our businesses. However, once it's up and running, we need to start thinking about an exit goal.In this episode, best-selling author of the EXITpreneur Playbook Joe Valley talks about setting up your exit goals for your business. He shares the five critical steps to consider before selling your business.Listen up and let's set some goals.KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODEInclude exits in your goals.Reverse engineer your path to that goal.One key differentiator when you're selling your business is understanding that you're selling the business as a multiple of discretionary earnings and for e-commerce business owners, the inventories are always sold separately.If you renegotiate the cost of goods sold halfway through the year, you get to do an add-back for that.Shift your mindset from an entrepreneur to an exitpreneur.Learn about deal structures.Create competition when selling your business.When a good advisor has your best interest in mind, in the long run, it helps them more.The valuations are 10% math and 90% art.Documentation is a critical part that buyers are looking for.Once you've got a business that's up and running, it's time to think about those exit goals.Business is not about selling anything. It's how many people you can reach, connect with, educate, and help.Recommended Tool: Google FormsRecommended Book:Good To Great by Jim Collinshttps://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Some-Companies-Others/dp/0066620996Today's Guest:Joe Valley helped build Quiet Light Brokerage, one of the leading online-focused M&A Advisory firms in the world.
