Quotes

  • “I started learning little things when I would go through drive-thrus; I’d see combos. So I started offering combos. I started to learn marketing tools of how to up-sell.” [5:50] – Victor Lopez
  • “I’ve made lots of mistakes. Not because of anything malicious, but just mistakes. Every person makes mistakes… I’m 42 years old. I’m still learning.” [16:18] – Victor Lopez
  • “In 10 – 15 years I don’t want to be the sole operator of El Pollo Grill. I wanna live with my wife and my family. That’s my whole goal. My father worked 24/7 every week for 20 years. I don’t wanna do that.” [57:41] – Victor Lopez
