Noodles & Company: Food, Franchising, QSRs & Fast Casual

A quick-service restaurant or #QSR is a popular choice for people who want to start their own business. A #franchise, or company owned by someone else instead of an individual owner like @McDonald's would be the way most successful fast food chains operate--so what makes them different from other franchises?

It's not often that we are joined by people in the QSR space of franchising. As many of you know, In my 20+ years of franchising, I've largely been in the service-based space.

Today we are joined by John Ramsay of Noodles & Company to talk all things food-franchise!

Who is John Ramsay?

"With over 28 years of experience in restaurant franchise sales and development, John Ramsay joined Noodles & Company in November of 2020 as the vice president of franchise sales.
