As virtual brands explode onto the restaurant scene, we're talking to two of the hottest. Bloomin' Brands and Uncle Julio's join us during virtual MURTEC to share secrets to success, and the exciting pace and performance of virtual brands: Tender Shack and Savage Burrito. From optimizing tech to lessons learned, you'll hear how these newest brands are fanning the flames of profitability and popularity, and teaching old brands new tricks every step of the way.
