Every business is Robots! Franchises! CORPORATE! ...then how is an upstart local restaurant with humans expanding from 1 to 5 locations in under 6 years? Through a global pandemic? In one of the world’s most highly competitive restaurant markets? On the back of good ol’ burgers and fries?? 🍔🍟🥤 This week on It’s All Money, we sit down with Erica and Todd Kniess of Sonoma County’s own Acme Burger. Why would a former Ritz Carlton chef choose burgers for his biggest business venture? What organizational structure did they implement to ensure happy, motivated staff? Why does offering families a place to “drop your shoulders” turn into real revenue? How did a chance meeting in Bodega turn into a profitable growth opportunity for 2 businesses? Why does community and quality matter to them before dollars?
