I enjoyed the time I spent working with John while he filled an executive role within our organization. He is a selfless leader, friendly, professional and always supportive of his team, co-workers and associates. He has a clear understanding of the franchise model; from sales, to training, to operations, to support, to enforcement and business growth. His vast restaurant operations experience gives him a well-rounded ability to handle all situations with franchise operators. John’s experience and abilities would make a great contribution to any organization.
