Delivery is changing the restaurant business. It might even change how the restaurant business thinks of its new locations.

In this week’s edition of RB’s podcast, "A Deeper Dive," James Walker, vice president of North America for sandwich giant Subway, talks in detail about how restaurants should think of their locations as delivery becomes more important.

He also talks about Subway’s own plans for delivery, as well as its plans for changing its locations as the chain works to regain favor with consumers.

In addition, we speak with Restaurant Business Managing Editor Sara Rush Wirth on the future of delivery and how important that service is becoming for chains and independents alike.
