A Twin Peaks Restaurants franchisee in Florida filed simultaneous bankruptcy petitions this week, but the company’s co-CEO said the restaurants involved are open and operating “and it’s business as usual.” “Nobody, no employees, no vendors, no customers will notice or see any difference, and there won't be any difference,” said Jack Flechner, co-CEO of DMD Ventures. “And the goal is to resolve this with our debt holder, and once we do that, we'll be even better and stronger than we were before.” https://lnkd.in/gb25hBQi

Trying something a little bit different here ... I had never been to Restaurant Finance Monitor RFDC conference before, but thanks to some pushing and prodding from some industry partners and friends, we made the trek this year. Thanks Cristal, Tammy, Henry, and Emily! If you didn't get a chance to attend, there was a ton of deep and heavy content on the finance side of running a restaurant business. I wrote a 6-part summary of the show - it's not quite as in-depth as one of Jimmy's Branded Hospitality Ventures newsletters - but I tried to call out as much of the action as possible, because brands big and small seem to be revitalized and optimistic going into 2025. Link to break out sessions and overview, in the comments. Additionally, I wanted to call out some awesome folks. Very thankful to have you in my circle. - Bill, Nina, Bob, Bradley, Alisia and the teams COGS-Well and Factura.ai. It turns out we know how to throw a party. - Cijoy and Alonzo building GM PILOT. Thanks for introducing me to the amazing Mandy Monk. - Michael, Chad, and the Inc Tank GTM team, thanks for your continued support. - Marielle, Eric, and Lauren, I'm sorry I missed our chill dinner where you identified possible side hustles. It won't happen again! - Jarrod, Art and the 7 Brew Coffee team thanks for being great boothmates! Now I know what 3000 t-shirts looks like. - Jason, Matt, Osayanmo, Chrissy, Maia and Todd are grinding out smart products for restaurants as hard as they can. Hustling for the operators. - Xavier glad we got to meet and find out how similar our paths are. See you in DFW soon! - Mark and Mehdi thanks so much for the company and lunch. Loved learning about what you're both building. - Josh, Rob, Sabin, and Christopher you all were amazing sharing your views on technology, finance, and business and proving why you are leaders in the space.
