On today's episode of The QSR guru Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you become the quick service restaurant leader you were meant to be. Matt and Tricia discuss the topic of four walls marketing.Four walls marketing is something that's been brought up a few times in the podcast, but never really dug into and explained. Now, for most quick service restaurants, you have your national marketing that happens, you don't really have to think about. Somebody in a corporate office somewhere is taking care of that for you. Then you normally have some local marketing that is taken care of by either your franchisee, or your district marketing group, or, you know, just us host of other ways. Now, four walls marketing is exactly what it sounds like. It is the marketing that you can do within the four walls of your restaurant to help grow your specific location.In Matt and Tricia's 20 years of experience in this industry, there hasn't been much talk about four walls marketing by any of the brands that they've worked with, until the last five years. That was when Jared and Brian Collins brought the idea to Matt and Tricia. It is something that they practice very regularly, and something that they'd seen a lot of success with. So Matt and Tricia have adopted it. So this is in no way, their idea or their plan. This is taken directly from what other people have done and seen success with and they use it to their advantage.And what four walls marketing is, is taking care of your guests and getting to know your guests. The bottom line is it's relationship building, it's making sure that your guest is comfortable, and that they know that you know them and that you care about them as a person, this will drive them back into your location over and over and over again. Not only that, when somebody asks them, where they should go for dinner, they're automatically going to think of you because you've built that relationship that makes them want to come to you and to tell people about you because they want their friends and family to have that same amazing experience that they had. So they will always tell people about you, they will be that word of mouth outside of your restaurant as long as you take care of them and treat them amazing inside those four walls.Another thing that is kind of outside marketing, but it's something that is really, that is really helpful is getting involved with the schools. When you get involved with a local school, and you help their organizations or you give out free meal cards, or free ice cream or whatever you can do, whatever comp cards you have available, if you give those to the schools, those kids are going to bring their parents in and when they bring their parents in those parents are going to eat and then you're going to use that four walls marketing to make that family love your restaurant and keep coming back in over and over again.Now these little things are what separates one location from the next you could have to have the exact same brand in the same town on the same street even and the one that does this process is the one that's going to see results above the others.So for that and so much more.

Traditionally, expensive salaried employees have fulfilled these needs, but in the last 5+ years, technological advancements have opened the door to more cost-effective alternatives that increase operational efficiencies! Today, the QSR industry can benefit from software-based outsourced accounting teams, which offer all in-house accounting expertise at a fraction of the price. Tune in to learn how Quick Service Restaurants can benefit from updating their software with RASI!

In every society on earth, for probably millions of years, humans have come up with communal methods of eating that reflect their particular human condition. In our world we've married eating with capitalism. We've devised a method of paying other people to prepare meals for us in spaces we call restaurants. As our communities have gotten bigger and restaurants have proliferated, the competition among them has gotten more serious and – as it is when any market gets saturated with competitive choice - prices come down to attract customers. Keeping a restaurant open requires more than just the ability to cook good food. For example, the biggest restaurant chains in the world, if you ask a food critic, have the worst food. In this kind of topsy-turvy business, what do you do to keep a restaurant profitable? Do you stick with quality and hope you find an appreciative market? Or do you turn to big data, AI and IT systems designed for the restaurant business? Stephanie Riegel puts this question to Gabe Piccoli, the Edward G. Schlieder Chair of Information Sciences and a member of the Cultural Computing group at the Center for Computation and Technology at LSU. Gabe has held tenured academic positions at Cornell, as well as universities in France and Italy. During his tenure at Cornell in the early 2000s, Gabe was on the faculty of the Hotel School, where he became interested in the hospitality industry. During his 25 year career, which started at LSU with a PhD in information systems, Gabe's work has focused on the value creation potential of new technology. His academic, teaching and consulting interest is in digital strategy and digital customer service systems. He watched and the studied the digital intermediation of the hotel industry in the 1990s and sees interesting parallels going on today in the Quick Service Restaurant industry – of which Baton Rouge not only has many but is actually home to popular chains like Raising Cane's. Stephen Hightower is on the front line of Baton Rouge's hospitality industry. Stephen is Managing Partner of the City Group Hospitality Restaurant Group, which does not own QSRs but does own and operate 11 operations with 7 unique concepts, including City Pork, Beausoleil, City Slice Pints and Pizza, Proverbial Wine and Bistro, Rouj Creole and Hub and Spoke, as well as Turning Point Food Services, which runs the cafeteria at Catholic High School. Stephen is steeped in Baton Rouge hospitality know-how. He began his restaurant career at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Baton Rouge and worked his way up the ladder. After launching a couple of his own ventures, he hit on just the right concept for Baton Rouge in 2012 with the launch of City Pork. In the decade since, he has become one of the most successful restauranteurs in the city. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.
