On my recent visit to the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast with Roger Beaudoin, we discussed a crucial question: What's the average timeline to turn a restaurant menu item into a CPG product? Typically, this process takes between six and nine months. Huge thanks to Roger for having me on the show!

In a recent episode of the Restaurant Rockstars Podcast, we explored how we integrate innovation into every aspect of our CPG strategy. Innovation isn’t just about creating something new—it’s about ensuring our products fit seamlessly into existing high-velocity categories, making it easy for retailers to say ‘yes.’ It’s the balance between novelty and familiar - what grabs attention, what is familiar enough to make it easy and comfortable to purchase.  A big thank you to Roger Beaudoin for hosting me.
