Sometimes the answers to your biggest business problems come up and "bite you on the nose," so to speak. That was the case for MOD Pizza leadership, which ultimately found workforce wealth in some of the hires that many brands would consider less desirable due to past criminal convictions or drug and alcohol problems.

Turns out these individual's have become one of the booming pizza brand's biggest secrets to success. Now, MOD CEO Scott Svenson is on a mission to share the news with other restaurant  industry leaders as he told QSRweb Editor Shelly Whitehead this past spring in an interview at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago.
