EE 389 - Why Most Restaurants Fail – Conor Sheridan’s $25M Mission with Nory

The Entrepreneur Experiment

In this episode, Gary sits down with Conor Sheridan, the mastermind behind Mad Egg & Nory, to dive into the nitty-gritty of the restaurant world and how he's shaking things up.

This is the second time Conor has been on the pod and we catch up on a whirlwind few years for Conor as he raised $25 million to build Nory, the operating system for restaurants.

Conor is building the ultimate operating system for restaurants to help them thrive, not just survive.

We chat about why so many restaurants struggle with profit, how digital tools can change the game, and what it takes to scale up from a local spot to a powerhouse brand. Whether you’re in hospitality or just hungry for business insights, Conor’s journey will inspire and entertain.

Tune in and get a taste of the future of dining!

Here is a sneak peek of some of the lessons in today's pod.

• Optimize for Efficiency: Profitability often hinges on operational efficiency rather than just increasing sales.
• Adapt Quickly: Embrace adaptability as a survival tool, especially in competitive or challenging markets.
• Leverage Technology: Use digital tools to streamline operations and stay competitive in a fast-evolving industry.
• Tell a Compelling Story: When fundraising, present a clear vision that solves real, pressing problems.
• Build a Strong Culture: Cultivating a positive work culture aligns your team with the mission and fuels growth.
