How Rob Archie Turned $372 a Day Into a Restaurant Empire

The Mark Haney Podcast

Rob Archie started with paninis, pastries, and $372 a day. Today, he’s the founder behind some of Sacramento’s most iconic food and drink spots—Pangaea Bier Café, Urban Roots Brewery, BAWK!, Cervecería, The Roost, and now Good Neighbor.
In this episode, recorded inside his hidden whiskey bar The Roost, Rob shares how he built a thriving restaurant group with over 150 team members—without ever losing sight of his values or community.
🎯 In This Episode:
• The mindset shift from substitute teacher to restaurant founder
• Why “Don’t f** up the burger”* became a guiding principle
• How his nephew went from bussing tables to culinary director
• His philosophy on leadership, culture, and scaling without selling out
• A preview of Good Neighbor, his newest concept opening in Midtown Sacramento
Whether you’re a founder, foodie, or someone chasing your own version of success—this story will light a fire.
