Join us as Ecotrak CEO Matt Singer sits down with Jim Balis, Partner and Head of Strategic Operations at CapitalSpring.

Jim brings decades of executive leadership experience, having served as CEO, owner, and advisor for some of the restaurant industry’s most recognized brands, including Sizzling Platter, NORMS Restaurants, Buddy’s Pizza, and more. Today, he partners with more than 100 portfolio companies spanning over 90 foodservice and retail brands, helping leadership teams strengthen operations, accelerate growth, and build lasting businesses.

In this session, Ecotrak CEO Matt Singer sits down with Gene Davis, MBA, CRFP, PMP, Sr. Director of Facilities at Mendocino Farms, the fast-casual favorite on a mission to help guests "Eat Happy." With the brand closing in on its 100th location across six states, Gene shares what it takes to keep a rapidly scaling, hospitality-first restaurant brand running at its best — and how data, not gut instinct, drives smarter repair-or-replace decisions.

Join Ecotrak as we sit down with Bob Lozano, CEO of F&P Brands and host of The Life Currency Podcast, for a conversation about leadership, hospitality, and what it really takes to scale people-first operations.

We’re sitting down with Michele Preston, CRFP of Al Copeland Investments, fresh off being named RFMA’s Restauranteur of the Year.

Michele leads facilities across a multi-concept restaurant and franchise group, and we get into what actually works when you’re trying to keep operations running smoothly at scale.
