Osmow's Shawarma

From a single shop making $47 in sales a day in Streetsville to roughly 250 locations across Canada and the United States. That’s a Canadian food business story worth hearing. This week on The Food Professor podcast, @RCC_Michael and I welcome Bernadette Osmow-Farag, President of @Osmows, to discuss entrepreneurship, family business and the ambition behind a growing restaurant brand. Bernadette shares her journey back to the family business, the importance of supporting franchisees, and why operating their own production facility helps Osmow’s manage quality and costs as it expands. Plenty to consider for anyone building a business in today’s food economy. We also tackle a busy week of industry news: • @CDC_Dairy: Dairy pricing and what the latest farmgate increase could mean for consumers. • Foodtastic’s proposed takeover of MTY Food Group and restaurant consolidation. • AI, surveillance pricing and consumer trust. • Grocery supplier price freezes and cybersecurity risks facing food retailers. Thank you, Bernadette, for joining us and sharing the Osmow’s story! 🎧 Listen to this week’s episode.
