Podcasts about sonic drive

In 1953, Troy Smith purchased an old root beer stand on the outskirts of Shawnee, Oklahoma.Within the next six years, he perfected a simple but memorable menu and added controlled parking, canopies, music, a carhop, and an innovative system for ordering food over an intercom speaker system. Most importantly, he formed the first of many partnerships that would define a formula for success—shared responsibility and shared profit.Today, that formula is still at the heart of a dynamic chain of restaurants called Sonic, America's Drive-In.

In the latest episode of Hospitality Hangout, Michael Schatzberg “The Restaurant Guy” and Jimmy Frischling “The Finance Guy” chat with James O'Reilly, Chief Executive Officer of Smokey Bones. O'Reilly has been in the restaurant industry for 25 years. Prior to joining Smokey Bones as CEO in 2019, he was President and CEO of Long John Silver's. O'Reilly held leadership roles at other restaurant brands, including Sonic Drive-in, Pizza Hut, and KFC. “Our tagline is meat is what we do and what that means is you cannot find a casual dining restaurant that has more cuts of meat, prepared in more kinds of ways than you can at Smokey Bones. So if you're thinking about steakhouses, we have more, if you're thinking about general casual dining restaurants, we have more and we have better. So we love what we do here. We're passionate about being a protein candy store,” says O'Reilly. Smokey Bones has recently launched Bite Hall, an e-commerce site that is taking five brands, Smokey Bones, The Wing Experience, and Burger Experience, plus two virtual brands Bowl Market and Tender Box under one digital roof. O'Reilly says, “we started with a major commitment to off-premise in this company when I joined and built my management team because we really believe in the power of off-premise and casual dining.”O'Reilly talks about realizing consumers who are in the traditional third-party marketplace space that wanted to order different things from different restaurants, would be looking at multiple deliveries, multiple commissions, and multiple fees. He says BiteHall was born out of this idea where the consumer has all of the bites in one site, one check, one order, and one delivery. The guys talk to O'Reilly about being the first virtual brand that was offered on Uber Eats as well as Smokey Bones going all in on drive-thrus. O'Reilly shares that they have a fully equipped digital drive-thru with everything you would find in a limited service drive-thru from the menu boards, the loop detection, the audio, and the digital menu boards as well as the pull-up window. They built a dedicated expediting kitchen inside the restaurant with its own beverage equipment its own hot and cold equipment, a fry station, and dedicated packaging. To hear more details about BiteHall, limited-time offers, Adventures in Candyland cocktails, and Tuesday trivia answers check out this episode of Hospitality Hangout.

A good idea never really goes out of style. In the food industry, that's because the basics have remained pretty much the same since restaurants and commercial cooking were invented. Make something tasty and deliver it to your diners with good service: it's a universal recipe for success. That doesn't mean it's easy. It's like baking. All the ingredients can be there: the eggs, the flour, the cream. Do it right, you got a rich delicious custard. Do it wrong, you got a plate of scrambled eggs.  Christiaan's guests on this edition of  Out to Lunch Acadiana have both been cooking it right in different ends of the industry. Brad Sonnier, a baker by trade, is the chef and owner of The Rolling Pin Bakery. He's a longtime pastry chef with a passion for French baking. And he's brought that home, literally, to a commercial kitchen next to his house in Duson, just outside of Lafayette. The Rolling Pin delivers bite size morsels of French classics like mousse and macarons to catered events and to farmers markets. Brad thanks for joining me on Out to Lunch.  Ted Kergan is the owner of the largest franchisee of Sonic Drive-in's in Louisiana. Ted is a native of Detroit — home of the American auto giants — and he's got a pretty giant operation himself. Kergan Brothers Sonic employs 2,000 people in 60 Sonics all around the state, including drive-ins in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles New Orleans and more. You can find photos by Jill Lafleur from this show at our website. And here's more conversation with Ted Kergan.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Monday everyone. Hope everyone was safe and ready for November. Today's topics include Dunkin Brands Group being acquired by Inspire Brands. We are also looking into the Pokemon Card Market as it is very interesting to hear about this wave of alternative investments. Europe is also locking down again and there may be some consequences associated. Continue to be safe and we will see you Wednesday for a special episode. Diving into in, Dunkin Brands Group being potentially acquired in an 11.3B cash buyout by Inspire Brands, which is owned by the Rowark Capital. Dunkin or Dunkin Donuts (changed due to a focus on coffee), also owns Baskin Robins restaurants international and abroad. Dunkin Brands runs on a 100% franchise business model where their sources of revenue come from royalties, franchise payments, licensing, certain product sales, and advertising fees. Dunkin has had a great year as stock when compared to other QSR (Quick Service Restaurants) in the space like Mcdonalds, Chipotle, and dominos (even compared to Starbucks, Dunkin has done great). Over the previous thinking, we would assume that restaurants would get hit hard. Inspire Brands currently owns brands like (Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Rusty Taco, Jimmy Johns, and Sonic Drive-in. Inspire Brands was on a purchasing spree and has developed a lean portfolio of the franchise and multi-location restaurants that is diverse (Arbys - Fast Food, BWW - Sports Bar, Jimmy John's - Sandwiches, Rusty Taco - Mexican, Sonic: Drive-In) when adding Dunkin and Baskin they are very diverse. It will be interesting to see what Inspire Brands does with this acquisition and to see if they make more acquisitions in the future.We also look into the pokemon card space. There are some things to be learned from this even if pokemon cards are not a credible investment by some standards. Trading Cards, Collectables, Clothing, Sneakers are all products that have seen a huge growth in recent years, especially pokemon cards most recently. Pokemon is the largest grossing media franchise. We talk about the pitfalls of investing in this type of asset class and the issues with the overall market. We also look into the EU and their lockdowns. Although GDP in Europe has grown, so have the cases in the country. This action shows the intensity of what is going on not only there but what has been occurring in the world. Government aid should be arriving but we are curious to see how the United States moves. The elections are coming up and it will be interesting to see what happens. Stay safe out there!
