What if the thin margins crushing your restaurant aren't the industry's fault at all?
Hamed Mazrouei came into restaurants as a total outsider. He built Vivant, the managed network company that keeps thousands of restaurants online, and he refuses to accept the beliefs operators treat as gospel.
In this conversation, we get into why the thin margins operators blame on the industry actually come down to volume, why guest retention is the highest-leverage metric almost nobody fixes, and why simplification is the one trait every successful founder shares.
If you've been blaming the business for numbers you have the power to change, this one will make you rethink everything you assumed was fixed.
That's Hamed Mazrouei. To learn more about Vivant, visit
