Growing demand for off-premise orders is changing the restaurant business.

This week’s edition of Restaurant Business' podcast, “A Deeper Dive,” discusses how operators can improve that area of the business without taking away from dine-in orders.

Technomic Principal Melissa Wilson joins the podcast to discuss issues operators should think about when they work to improve off-premise sales, whether it's through takeout, delivery or even the drive-thru. Technomic is a sister company of RB.

And Carl Howard, CEO of fast-casual Italian chain Fazoli’s, joins the podcast to talk about the company’s growth and how it has handled delivery and takeout. He also discusses the potential that business has for the company.
