Subway pulls back on its free sub offer

Subway is already pulling back on a free sub offer.

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast The Week in Restaurants looks at the sandwich giant’s decision to end a fourth-Footlong-free offer as part of the chain’s Sub Club loyalty program.

In addition, Robert Byrne, senior director of consumer and industry insights at Technomic, provides some special insight into one of Subway’s biggest challenges. That is part of a new feature in the podcast featuring insights from the data firm and Restaurant Business sister company.

We also discuss Wingstop’s rare same-store sales decline and what the company plans to do about it.

And we talk about Nelson Peltz’s plans for Wendy’s.

On Tech Check, Senior Technology Editor Joe Guszkowski talks about how restaurants are spending their tech dollars.
