Raising Canes Operational Success
Share
A story about the founder of Raising Canes and how he grew the business to over $1 billion in sales.
"I was listening to this podcast with the founder of Raising Canes. He's southern, lives in Louisiana, and they have hundreds of restaurants. They're doing north of a billion dollars in sales. The way he makes it sound, he's like 'I just loved running the fryer, I loved being at the place.' He was really hands-on with the operations.
The kitchen crew creates a different bond than normal coworkers. It's totally different than sitting at a tech office with headphones on typing on your Mac. In a restaurant, it's Friday night, the place is rocking, you're banging out orders as fast as you can. At 1 AM when you're finally done cleaning up, you go eat at another restaurant that's closed but they let you in because you're from the restaurant industry. It's just a different level of camaraderie."
