10 big challenges restaurants face post-COVID

Navin Nagrani, from Hilco Real Estate, joins the RB podcast “A Deeper Dive” to discuss pain points the industry faces in the coming months.

States may be reopening their economies, but that doesn’t mean that the restaurant industry doesn’t face major challenges.

This week’s edition of the Restaurant Business podcast “A Deeper Dive” features Navin Nagrani, executive vice president and operating partner with Hilco Real Estate, who gives us 10 pain points he sees the industry facing in the coming months—which he dubs the “pain train.”

Hilco is a firm many companies turn to when developing their real-estate strategies, and Nagrani is a central dealmaker for many of these transactions. He’s been busy in recent months.

Nagrani discusses the issues he believes will challenge the industry, such as changes in consumer behavior, lease payments, operational issues and other potential pitfalls.
