The Hidden Engine Behind Every High-Growth Restaurant


Tuesday, February 03 at 4:00 PM

Behind every fast-growing brand is something you won’t see on a P&L: a great guest experience. Zack Oates reveals why experience is the true leading indicator of revenue and how founders can use it to build smarter systems and stronger brands.

He went on over 1,000 dates before he got married and wrote a book, “Dating Never Works…Until it Does.” He currently is Founder and CEO of Ovation, the no. 1 restaurant feedback platform in America, voted Top 50 Most Influential Supplier by Nation’s Restaurant News, and host of “Give an Ovation: A Podcast for Restaurants.”
