How top franchise brands turn culture into direct profitabilityIndustry leaders will gather at the Restaurant Franchising and Innovation Summit to share actionable strategies for transforming workplace culture and technology into a powerful engine for talent retention and long-term profitability. "At Blaze Pizza, we made culture tangible by shifting to a mindset of accountability and ownership at the restaurant level. That cultural shift showed up directly in labor efficiency and restaurant profitability," Gelber said in an email interview. It's a core part of our culture and one of the key reasons Farmer Boys is such a strong and rewarding brand to franchise with. The Restaurant Franchising and Innovation Summit will be held at the Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego, California, March 16-18.
