Last week, Granite CEO had the chance to grab a slice of wisdom at The Bambino with Dave Gardiner 👏🍕
Dave showed us that entrepreneurship isn’t always a straight recipe, instead it’s more like perfecting a dough over time. Sometimes you pivot, and restart, but just like pizza, great businesses come in all styles.
He shared what it really takes to survive in an industry where over half of restaurants don’t make it past five years. He focuses on realistic expectations, maximizing efficiency, and grabbing the low-hanging fruit before it burns. From watching every expense, to optimizing each process, no detail goes unnoticed.
