Restaurants facing a long pandemic winter have a number of strategies they can use to survive and thrive.

That, at least, is according to Navin Nagrani, who joins the Restaurant Business podcast “A Deeper Dive” to discuss what he calls the “gain train,” a number of strategies on finance, real estate, operations and acquisitions that operators can use to grow their business.

Nagrani is the executive vice president and operating partner with Hilco and works with a number of restaurant chains on real estate issues. He previously appeared on the podcast to discuss the “pain train,” the number of pain points the industry was feeling during the pandemic.

This time he looks at the other end of the spectrum.
