Restaurant Unstoppable hasn't published an episode since late August. Here we are in September with a brand new episode. Eric Cacciatore is the Founder and CEO of Restaurant Unstoppable. Jared Parisi is the Operations Manager at Restaurant Unstoppable. We are sitting down today to discuss the future of Restaurant Unstoppable. This is the fourth "Getting Personal" episode in over 900 RU episodes. Occasionally, we feel it is necessary to slow down in order to speed up. Going forward, Restaurant Unstoppable has committed to 100% on-site interviews. In order to pull this off, we need funds. We are discussing in this episode our plan to have exclusively on-site interviews with next level video output.
