In a crisis, every day your restaurant stays closed means lost revenue. Permitting and governmental expert Eddie Navarette reveals the fastest, most effective ways to cut through LA’s permitting maze, accelerate approvals, and avoid costly mistakes that slow down restaurant openings. This episode provides actionable insights for operators in any city looking to streamline licensing, improve compliance, and get open fast—without the headaches.
This series was created in collaboration with
Michael Benson of Southern California Restaurant Design Group. When the fires devastated LA’s restaurant community, Michael saw an opportunity to bring together experts who could provide
real strategies and solutions for operators facing the challenge of rebuilding. Each conversation in this series is designed to deliver
practical insights, industry trends, and actionable steps to help restaurant owners in LA—and beyond—come back stronger.
