Don’t expect supply chain challenges to ease up anytime soon.

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast “A Deeper Dive” features Mark Rossi, the CEO of Avanti Restaurant Solutions, who talks about current challenges with the supply chain.

Challenges getting equipment in the door have caused all sorts of problems with restaurants.

Avanti works with restaurants to design their foodservice options and has been paying close attention to the problem. While he speaks specifically about equipment challenges, many of the issues—particularly a driver shortage—are affecting all kinds of industries that supply products to restaurants.

Rossi discusses the reasons behind these supply chain challenges and the problems they’re causing for operators. He also talks about how long we can expect this problem to last, and what operators should do to get the equipment they need to get the job done.
