Want to keep employees? Give them a restaurant

A small but growing number of operators are striving to make themselves a better place to work by offering a pathway to 100% ownership.

The sandwich chain, which just opened its 2,000th unit, now thinks it can get bigger thanks to smaller towns.

After a pandemic pause last year, operators are stepping up food and drink promotions to lure fans as the NFL and college football season kicks off.

CEO Peter Cancro joins the RB podcast “A Deeper Dive” to talk about the chain’s strong 2020 and where it goes next.

The sub chain was an early technology adopter, jumped quickly on the delivery bandwagon and paid for its franchisees’ remodels—and easily bested all other sandwich chains last year.

The effort is aimed at prospective crew hires with ambitions of owning a store someday.

The fast-growing sub chain is investing $75,000 per franchised store to foster growth, even as it adds topspin by gifting restaurants to employees yearning to become owners.
