What happens when you refuse to compromise on quality, even when you're losing $10k a week?
In this episode, we unpack the story behind Guzman y Gomez (GYG) - from a single, cash-bleeding store in Newtown to a global Mexican food juggernaut gunning for Chipotle.
Steven Marks shares how betting everything on quality, people and culture transformed GYG from a passion project into one of Australia’s most ambitious brands.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why Marks said no to compromise even when the numbers said quit
- How teaming up with McDonald’s royalty turbocharged GYG’s growth
- The secret to finding franchise partners who actually scale with you
- Inside GYG’s lightning-fast IPO and what they did differently
- How they plan to open 1,000 stores and take on the US market
- Why clean food, radical transparency and operational speed are GYG’s true superpowers
