It’s not always easy to read every important story of the day. So, Restaurant Business has created a new podcast for busy restaurateurs: RB Daily.

The new podcast features contributions from a host of RB editors, including myself, Editor-at-Large Peter Romeo, editor Heather Lalley and senior editors Pat Cobe and Joe Guszkowski, along with web producer Luke Domask.

The podcast is only three minutes long, providing a summation of the day’s most important news. You can find the podcast anywhere, including Anchor, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and others. Or you can simply go to the RB website and listen directly from the home page.

RB Daily is part of a growing roster of Restaurant Business podcasts for industry specialists. There is the finance-focused “A Deeper Dive,” hosted by yours truly, along with Cobe’s menu podcast, “Menu Feed.”

Soon, we will debut our latest podcast: Buzzworthy Brands, a podcast featuring interviews with growth restaurant chains, and hosted by Lalley.

Restaurant Business is committed to giving you the news you want, in the format you want it in, whether it’s by podcast, specialty newsletter, blog, opinion column, video or webinar. In the coming months we vow to give you more of what you want, in new and different formats. So don’t forget to subscribe to our daily newsletter, or some of our other specialty newsletters, for more details.
