Why the social media burger wars are good for the industry

The burger chains are all in a social media war right now.

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast The Week in Restaurants looks at the ongoing social media war pitting most of the industry’s burger chains against each other. We explain the issue, and why it may be good for the industry.

We also try and diagnose whatever is wrong with the fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen.

On Tech Check, Senior Tech Editor Joe Guszkowski talks Olo’s new customer-facing app.
