Achieving Sustainability with Diana Geseking, VP Corporate Counsel, Restaurant Technologies

Creating a profitable and scalable casual dining establishment or quick-serve restaurant (QSR) isn't for the faint of heart. The food entrepreneur needs a delicious menu, an attractive concept, passionate front-of-the-house people, and a skilled back-of-the-house operation. Consumers want to save water, reduce plastic use and be good stewards of resources, and they expect their favorite restaurants and brands to do the same. Diana Geseking joins me from Restaurant Technologies to share how RT is partnering with our favorite restaurants to help them recycle spent oil, reduce CO2, and lessen the landfill burden. In this episode, you will learn how to start a sustainability program.
