Operators who came back for more.
I spent six months looking at pizza, chicken, and two different taco concepts. None of them had the unit-level data Smash put in front of me on page one. When a brand shows you the numbers before you ask, you know the numbers are real.
My second unit opened doing 18% above my first unit's first-year numbers. The system is tighter than anything I've operated. Every process, every supplier, every sear mark — identical. That's what scales.
