The story behind the fast-growing restaurant chain Mo'Bettahs

What’s the story behind the growth chain Mo’Bettahs?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Rob Ertmann, the CEO of the fast-growing Hawaiian-style chain Mo’Bettahs.

This is the latest in our series of podcast episodes recorded at the National Restaurant Show in May. 

We wanted to talk with Ertmann to get the story behind Mo’Bettahs, which is one of the industry’s more fascinating growth concepts. The company grew system sales 30% last year, according to Technomic.

We talked about the chain’s history and how it’s been able to fund its growth. We talk about growth plans and what kind of barriers are standing in the way of that growth. We also touch on a variety of other topics, including tariffs, traffic, portion sizes and what’s popular today.

It’s a wide-ranging episode on the podcast this week so check it out.
