このエピソードについて
In this episode, Kyle sits down with Grant Director, Managing Director at Crexi, and Adam Siegel, VP of Product Growth at Crexi, two guys who spend every day building the data infrastructure that operators and brokers use to make site decisions to break down how PropTech is reshaping the way restaurant brands find, validate, and commit to new locations.
If you're running a handful of locations and thinking about your next site, or you're helping brands grow and still cobbling data together from twelve different places, this one's for you.
