Gravitas Podcast Series EP. 3 - The Future of Finance in QSR w/Jubin Patel (FULL EPISODE)

Finance in quick service restaurants is no longer about reporting what happened. It’s about shaping what happens next. In this episode of the Gravitas Podcast, Ankit Singh sits down with Jubin Patel, Vice President of Finance & Insights at Blaze Pizza, to explore how modern finance leaders are navigating margin pressure, pricing complexity, franchise economics, and AI adoption in today’s QSR environment. They discuss: • The “barbell” strategy of pricing — balancing value and brand • How to distinguish real incremental promotions from margin leakage • First-party vs. third-party channel economics • Labor optimization without sacrificing guest experience • Building resilience into food cost planning • The evolving role of AI in finance and analytics • Why traditional FP&A roles are rapidly changing If you’re a CFO, finance executive, operator, or PE-backed leader in the restaurant space, this conversation offers a practical look at how disciplined finance teams drive sustainable growth, without losing focus on unit economics.
