South Florida is covered with restaurants of every caliber. Sadly, your favorite eatery could be here today and gone tomorrow. Full Course’s Founder and CEO, Lauren Fernandez, joined Inside South Florida to share tips that will help restaurant keep their doors open during an economic upset.
“The number one thing that I see is a purchase of real estate or signing a lease before you've actually identified your core customer,” says Fernandez. “You could have the best concept in the world but be in the wrong location.”
