“The people that are super successful have their operations on lock.”

James Deng is the Founder & CEO of Poké House, a poké chain based in Northern California with 9 locations and counting.
James opened Poké House’s first location in 2015, and has since grown the concept to 5 company-owned locations and 4 franchise operated units, with big plans to scale beyond those numbers in the coming years.
In this episode James shares how Poké House grew into this success, including:
- How Poké House differentiated from competition by making their tightening their operations
- Why buying a warehouse and using it as a distribution center can be helpful to business owners with multiple locations
- All the technology tools Poké House uses to run a tight ship, and
- How James manages the stress and anxiety that comes with running a bootstrapped restaurant business
James is sharp, insightful, and full of operational wisdom, so I think you’ll really enjoy this episode.
