Let's get small...

It's the new mantra for every kind of brick & mortar brand. California's passage of the $20 per hour minimum wage law makes mediocre locations underperforming en eligible for closure.

Mod Pizza, Outback Steakhouse and other brands have shut the doors on several locations. Hourly employees are offered transfers to other locations and many have received severance pay up to $2000.

But there's a silver lining in this dark cloud. A restaurant closing, as sad as it may be, means the slice of the pie just got bigger for every restaurant that's still open.

It's a contraction, a "right-sizing" that's still rife with the challenge of earning your share of stomach.

Your solution: Marketing. There are effecincies to be found and we'll lean-in to IT & finance to find those and work closely with marketing to insure it's easy on the operators.

Flashback to the 70's and Steve Martin's riff that makes more sense today than it did then.
