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.

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.

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,
