FULL COMP: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry Revolution

Pizza is hard. Most of us know we’re in a commodity business but I feel like the pizza industry feels it more than most. So how do you stand out from the crowd? Today we’re chatting with Kevin King of Donatos Pizza. This chain has scaled massively over the years by successfully differentiating itself through culture, community, and an excellent product. In our conversation, Kevin shares what it took to get the franchise model off the ground and his plan to turn a pizza parlor into a financial rocketship.
