Hosted by Savory Managing Director Andrew K. Smith, and the executive team of Savory Restaurant Fund, Restaurantology: The Journey from 2-10 units - will feature discussions among Founders, Senior Level Executives and CEOs of restaurant companies that are working through their journey of scaling.

The difference: Everyone speaking is working within a restaurant company, every day, and talking from first-hand experience. Each week, Restaurantology with Andrew K. Smith, or one of his restaurant veteran partners, will discuss a trending topic with others within the F&B industry and discuss it unscripted, with no pre-prepared questions. It will be as if you are sitting with all guests at lunch – discussing the truth behind each topic of discussion.

And the truth is – it isn’t what you are hearing in most interviews. The black box has officially been broken open. We are discussing the good, bad, and ugly that we all must deal with, and how we are all pressing forward, despite constant shifts, changes, and headwinds within the industry.

This is the study of Restaurants. This is Restaurantology.
