This weekly Friday series gives founders the mic to share their vision and get unfiltered feedback from a community of operators, leaders, and peers.
In this session, Jason Berkowitz took the stage to present Arrow Up Training — a platform built by restaurant operators, for restaurant operators, to help teams become safer, stronger, and more prepared for the realities of the industry. From cutting compliance risks and turnover to transforming supervisors into true leaders, Jason showed how Arrow Up blends real-world hospitality experience with smart systems to protect people, boost performance, and unlock sustainable growth
What followed was an open conversation about clarity, traction, and the power of feedback. The group explored how AI can support franchisees, where storytelling connects to trust, and why pitching isn’t just about funding but about sharpening the value you deliver. Erin walked away with insights to strengthen her company’s positioning, while participants left with lessons they could apply to their own businesses.
Listen to the replay of this first session and follow Cali BBQ Media to join future rooms, pitch your company, and learn from the community.
Every Friday at 10am PT / 1pm ET, Shawn P. Walchef hosts Pitch the Tide live.
