About this Podcast:

Welcome to The Operator’s Table—a conversation series for founders and operators in food, beverage, and logistics who care about results over buzzwords. Each episode, host Cris Morgado pulls up a chair with industry leaders to explore the moments that shaped them (Backstory & Mentors), the playbooks they use today (What’s Working vs. Friction), and current realities (Shifts, channels, and tech). We keep it operator-first, practical, and human: quick wins that last and “from-the-floor” lessons you won’t find in pitch decks. You’ll also hear a fast Lightning Round with questions like what is your favourite book or podacst to recommend to other operators. Whether you’re scaling a CPG brand, running a restaurant group, or solving last-mile headaches, you’ll get clear ideas you can put to work tomorrow—and the inspiration to keep going. Subscribe and share with someone who loves real stories from real operators. The Operator’s Tab
