Takeaways


  1. The Power of #2 - While working for Jimmy John's, Gregg Majewski knew there was stiff industry competition. Majewski knew that there wasn't much he could do to overtake the top spot, but the company could continue to focus inward to bring forth a consistently better prospect. That narrowed focus allowed them to perfect their product, find their niche, and carve their own space in the industry, and set forth his vision for Craveworthy Brands
  2. Hospitality is the Number One Thing - Hospitality is the top priority for Gregg Majewski and Craveworthy Brands. Treating people kindly, regardless of demographic, is a precursor for that treatment to be returned.
  3. No Place for Kiosks - Gregg Majewski is outspoken, specifically when it comes to things he is passionate about, such as the elimination of humans at the front of the house. For him, the customer experience with robots doesn't match that of human interaction
