We wrap up this season of the Distinguished podcast with George Poll of Poll Restaurants, who has spent decades building some of Long Island’s most celebrated restaurants. This episode is a masterclass in the fine balance between tradition and innovation, the intense planning behind every design choice, and the hurdles that come with launching each new restaurant. Through stories of teamwork, resilience, and a relentless drive to improve, George offers listeners an unfiltered look inside the restaurant business. George Poll is an alumnus of BU School of Hospitality Administration’s first graduating class and serves on the school’s Dean’s Advisory Board. George also played on BU’s football team, which is no longer, but that story is for another podcast! Tune in: https://lnkd.in/dS2hEGvP

How are US restaurant consumers faring? Jon Tower, CFA sees cracks deepening for lower-income consumers as inflation has eroded discretionary spend. Meanwhile, the industry is grappling with new health and wellness trends: a proprietary survey shows GLP-1 users are curbing consumption, upping protein intake and cutting carbs. Restaurant chains that offer deals tailored to lower-income consumers, compete in a single/focused category or cater to occasional dining will likely perform well vs others over the next 6-12 months. #teamwork #macro #consumers
