With excitement allow me to introduce today's guest, Founder, and CEO of Hungry House, Kristen Barnett. Hungry House is an 'anti-ghost kitchen' connecting patrons digitally and in person at their two brick-and-mortar locations. Before founding Hungry House, Kristen graduated from Cornell University where she studied Applied Economics and Management as well as International Development and Food Policy. Early in her career, Kristen worked as an associate with The Boston Consulting Group before joining New York City-based Dig, where Kristen held multiple titles including Leadership Development, Head of Supply Chain and Menu Development, Director of Strategic Operations, and GM of Room Service by Dig Inn. Kristen's final stop before founding Hungry House was at Zuul, a ghost kitchen operations and technology company, where Kristen served as Director of Strategy and Chief Operations Officer during her 2-year tenure.

Favorite success quote or mantra:
In this episode with Kristen Barnette we will discuss:
