Goebel says he researched all the fast-casual pizza brands before choosing Pie Five, part of Rave Restaurant Group, based in The Colony, Texas, that also operates Pizza Inn.
"I loved the simplicity," he says. "Pie Five's approach was, we're going to do one thing very, very well, which affords us the opportunity to do it very consistently, and it affords us the ability to get maximum throughput."
Many fast-casual players stick to one thing and the model works very well. "There are others that have been lured to enhance the offering," he says, citing his experience with Boston Market, which started as Boston Chicken and was "a beautiful model in terms of throughput and consistency. When that was altered to become Boston Market," in 1995, "we added ham and turkey and meatloaf, and it changed the whole economic equation. It changed our ability to be 100 percent on with every guest."
He also thinks "the world" of Rave CEO Randy Gier. "This sounds like blasphemy coming from an operator, but I love the fact that in a start-up like this he's really all about consumer, all about R&D, all about food innovation, all about marketing - in other words, all about everything other than operations.
Chris Smith, COO, also comes in for praise. "Smith is a disciplinarian about the system and processes, which I think is needed. It's just a nice one-two punch."
