I have been in the food business over 30 years. I was a part of a training program with McDonalds while playing Football in the NFL. I was bless to have very good mentors at McDonalds. I graduated from the university of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was a student athlete. This is where I learned about everything is about the entire team! I played on the kicking team my first year in collage and did not like it, but that’s where I was needed. Business is sometimes the same way. You must do what you have to do to Win! People are the most important part to anyone’s success. We have the Dennys Brand and Rally’s / Checkers Brand today. I love the QSR business.
We were blessed to buy the Birmingham AL. Market Rally’s in early 2019 and are very pleased with the Rally’s Brand.
I am very blessed to be doing what I love. The best way to understand any business is work the business yourself and understand the in’s and outs of the business. Have God lead your path, ask him for understanding. You are not smart enough!
