What happens when you refuse to compromise on quality, even when you're losing $10k a week?


In this episode, we unpack the story behind Guzman y Gomez (GYG) - from a single, cash-bleeding store in Newtown to a global Mexican food juggernaut gunning for Chipotle.


Steven Marks shares how betting everything on quality, people and culture transformed GYG from a passion project into one of Australia’s most ambitious brands.


Here’s what we cover:

  • Why Marks said no to compromise even when the numbers said quit
  • How teaming up with McDonald’s royalty turbocharged GYG’s growth
  • The secret to finding franchise partners who actually scale with you
  • Inside GYG’s lightning-fast IPO and what they did differently
  • How they plan to open 1,000 stores and take on the US market
  • Why clean food, radical transparency and operational speed are GYG’s true superpowers

Sidekick is brought to you by Superhero (www.superhero.com.au).
