In this episode of the Restaurant Operator Podcast, Mandy Detwiler, editor of Pizza Marketplace and QSRweb, chats with Jeff's Bagel Run founder Jeff Perera.
Perera and his wife, Danielle, call themselves bagel fanatics. When Perera lost his job in 2019, he began making bagels for his wife at home. He then spread the love to family and friends, who told him he should sell the bagels. Eventually, he did locally.
In 2021, they opened the first Jeff's Bagel Run in Ocoee, Florida. Today, the brand has 15 stores in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Texas.
Perera said consistency across his brand starts with quality training.
"Whenever we have a new team start, a new franchisee join the system, we're going to put them through really extensive training so they can learn what it's like to be an owner of a Jeff's Bagel Run and to make sure that they have that as part of their DNA," Perera said. "That is going to be the first foundation."
