Buffets, Bambi and Big Plans at Rave’s Pizza Inn

We've had some overlap.

So you worked at Domino's and Wendy's while I was covering those companies.

It was a great run.

I mean, big companies, right? A lot more scale than what we have here.

I got a lot more degrees of freedom here than I had here, which is both good and bad.

So there's no guardrails and we're public.

We're listed on the NASDAQ.

So I tell the team, the good news is if we do a good job, we're public.

Everyone will know.

If we do a terrible job, that's the bad news.

Everyone will know.

So we better do a good job.

Yeah, ticker R-A-V-E for our listeners.

Yeah, at Domino's, you were part of that impressive turnaround.

Yeah, well, actually, I was famous, Mike.

I got on TV, you know, like you.

Us famous guys got to stick together.

But, you know, Andy Warhol said, you know, my 15 minutes are up, brother.

So, yeah, it was great.

I was the head chef.

I was VP of innovation there.

So, you know, we rolled out a whole bunch of innovation that, you know, made sense with our strategy and day parts and consumers and all those things.

But the big thing was the new and improved pizza in 2010.

You know, that really blew the doors off and, you know, created about $4 billion in shareholder value.

So, you know, there's a lot of success.
