Takeaways:

Starting with Good Food & Hospitality - Craveworthy Brands was formed from Gregg Majewski’s idea of having a place where franchisees can do good work, make good food, and maintain high standards of hospitality through growth.


Leveraging Ghost Kitchens for Franchise Revenue - Craveworthy Brands was in its beginning stages when COVID paused the world. Being the savvy industry vet that he is, Majewski was able to adapt to a new model of “ghost kitchens” to help his franchisors have another revenue stream.


Commitment to Greatness - Gregg Majewski doesn’t take having employees lightly. He has made it a mission to create an environment where a positive work ethic is instilled and can be implemented regardless of the long term career choice of employees.
