21 GIU 2024 · Today we welcome Justin Lindsey to The Cutting Onions Podcast. Justin has been a Chick-fil-A Owner/Operator for nearly 14 years. He is currently the Owner/Operator of Chick-fil-A Kendall located in Miami, Florida. Chick-fil-A Kendall is one of the Top 5 busiest restaurants in the entire Chick-fil-A chain, out of nearly 3,000 total restaurants. Justin employs a staff of over 160 team members & 17 leaders. Justin is an innovator at heart. He lives by a personal mission of “leading with generosity.” That mission was at the center of Justin creating a first-of-its kind 3 Day Workweek for full time team members & leaders in his business. This 3 Day Workweek has been featured in media interviews & news publications all around the country. It was even featured in international news markets for its revolutionary approach to restaurant scheduling. The 3 Day Workweek has positively transformed Justin’s business & granted his team the precious gift of time. Team members have more time available to focus on school, take care of children, & travel. Of all the benefits that can be offered to team members, there are few as impactful as a 3 Day Workweek. Justin has helped many other Chick-fil-A locations & even businesses in other industries (i.e.: Casinos, Full-Service Restaurants, & Hotels) to implement 3 Day Workweeks. A 3 Day Workweek can be executed in nearly any environment utilizing Justin’s approach to scheduling. To assist in the implementation of a 3 Day Workweek, Justin has collaborated in the development of a mobile app called Shift Fish that can be found on the Apple App Store & Google Play. It provides the flexibility & framework necessary to successfully roll out a 3 Day Workweek. This was an absolutely incredible conversation, and we cannot wait for you to hear it!

19 GIU 2024 · David DeSantis is a well-known name in the pizza industry. With 27 years of experience in the restaurant business, he has created six successful brands and owned 17 restaurants. However, his latest venture sets him apart from others in the industry: the creation of a cutting-edge supplier relationship management platform.
David’s passion for the restaurant business started at a young age. He grew up in a family of food lovers and learned the art of cooking from his grandmother. At eight years old, his family introduced Dunkin Donuts to Atlanta, and David was frying donuts by the age of ten. David was a Domino’s Pizza delivery driver at sixteen and was managing the location by eighteen.
David and his brother Richard started their first pizza restaurant in Atlanta during the Olympics in 1996, and while operating what became a four-unit chain, David achieved his Executive Master’s in Business Administration from Kennesaw State University. David subsequently started the brands Peace Love & Pizza, The Jammin Pie, Bulldawg Pizza & Wings, Bring the Smoke BBQ and others.
After becoming a successful restaurateur, David realized there was a market gap when it came to managing relationships with suppliers. He needed an efficient way for restaurants to communicate with their suppliers, quickly manage inventory, automate price changes, consider rebates, bring transparency to contract negotiation, and audit supply chain contracts. This led to him starting Wook.ai.
But at the end of the day, Dave is an operator with a heart for helping other entrepreneurs be able to manage their business with transparency and real time data.
We think you will enjoy this episode very much. Here we go!
