Subway owner makes major billion-dollar fast food acquisition
Many of us take our favorite fast food restaurants for granted. After all, these dining establishments aren't exactly made for us to meditate on. Related: Lowe's makes one of its largest ever billion-dollar acquisitions They're intended to serve up a hot meal quickly and allow customers to get on their way as fast as possible. And many newer conveniences and advancements have only made rapid dining even quicker. Drive-thrus, mobile ordering, and delivery options allow customers to get their meals with just a click of a button -- or sometimes without even leaving their homes or cars. So it's probably not often that you consider the underlying business and logistics that make your favorite fast food meal possible. For instance, not many people think about the Starbucks business model. We just know that there's one on every corner, and that seems to work pretty well. But Starbucks has spent years researching and discovering that a cafe on every corner doesn't just capture the maximum number of patrons -- it also crowds out competition. Starbucks isn't alone. Fast food companies across the U.S. have deliberated for years on business best practices -- and rapidly change based on what they learn. Image source: Shutterstock Fast food restaurants are constantly working to improve the customer experience so they can quickly serve as vast of a population as possible. In the 2010s, for example, when having a wide array of choices was popular, menus expanded.

Nowadays, many customers are more health-conscious. So chains like Steak and Shake and In-N-Out are doing away with less healthful ingredients and swapping them for things like beef tallow or less-processed products. Of course, those at the top of the food chain are always in growth mode. In addition to catering to an ever-changing customer taste, the biggest fast food chains are constantly expanding to either beat out competition -- or buy them outright. And now, Roark Capital, a private equity firm, will buy Dave's Hot Chicken -- a popular fried chicken chain. Related: Popular fast-food burger chain closes all restaurants in key area Dave's Hot Chicken serves things like chicken sliders with varying levels of heat, ranging from no spice to reaper level. It has over 300 locations across the globe. The deal, which is reportedly worth about $1 billion, will allow Dave's Hot Chicken to expand further. It currently has plans to grow up to 400 restaurants around the world by the end of 2025. Roark Capital owns a fast food portfolio which includes Subway, which has been struggling lately. It closed over 600 restaurants in 2024. It also has substantial investments across the fast food industry. "Our largest sector, food and restaurants, encompasses investments in brands such as: Inspire Brands (the owner of Arby's, Baskin Robbins, Buffalo Wild Wings, Dunkin', Jimmy John's, and Sonic), Subway, Nothing Bundt Cakes, CKE Restaurants (the owner of Carl's Jr and Hardee's), GoTo Foods (the owner of Auntie Anne's Pretzels, Carvel Ice Cream, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister's Deli, Moe's Southwest Grill, and Schlotzsky's), Miller's Ale House, Culver's, Jim 'N Nick's BBQ, and previously Corner Bakery, Il Fornaio, Naf Naf Middle Eastern Grill, The Cheesecake Factory (the owner of North Italia and Flower Child), and Wingstop," it writes on its website.

Read the pitch decks 6 music and audio startups used to raise millions
Audio startups are changing how we listen to and discover music. A new crop of companies has emerged to help artists and other audio creators build businesses. We spoke with six audio-startup founders who shared the pitch decks they used to raise funds. Innovation in music tech is on the rise. Startups are building new ways for artists and creators to make and distribute songs and other audio. Some companies, including social-entertainment apps like TikTok and YouTube, are making it easier for artists to get discovered. Platforms like Roblox and Discord have added new formats for artists to reach fans. And generative AI tools like Suno have created a tidal wave of new music while raising new questions about artist compensation in the age of AI. One area of focus among audio startups is finding ways to help artists interact with their most loyal listeners, sometimes called superfans. Sesh built a platform that lets users add "fan cards" of their favorite artists to their smartphone wallets, for example. Hangout created a group-listening platform that enables music fans to stream songs together. "Even with a hundred superfans, you're going to be able to make a living instead of needing to do extra jobs for you to be able to pay for your instruments or your music career," Sesh's CEO, Iñigo-Hubertus Bunzl Pelayo, told Business Insider. Other upstarts are focused on building internal tools for artists and their teams. Offtop built a Dropbox-style platform to help music collaborators share files, for instance. And RealCount offers data analytics for artists on their ticket sales. Read BI's list of 14 promising music startups Investors have poured millions of dollars into audio startups over the last few years. The category has drawn funding from institutional firms like SoftBank Ventures Korea and record labels like Sony Music. BI spoke with six audio-startup founders who've raised money in the past few years about their fundraising process. They each shared the pitch decks they used to win over investors. Note: Pitch decks are sorted by investment stage and size of round. Slipstream Music, a music and sounds library for creators: $7.5 million (13 pages) Hangout, a social-listening platform: $8.2 million (26 pages) Sesh, a fan-engagement platform: $5 million (13 pages) Chartmetric, a music data startup: $2 million (46 pages) Supercast, a podcast subscriptions platform: $2 million (20 pages) Spoon, a live audio streaming platform: $60 million total (15 pages) Geoff Weiss, JP Mangalindan, Nhari Djan, and Michael Espinosa previously contributed reporting. Chartmetric Chartmetric is a data-and-analytics tool that enables music-industry professionals to track the digital performance of songs. The company created a platform for customers like record labels and artists to review streaming and social-media data all in one place. "There is more and more data that artists and record labels measure and that they care about, and the importance of the data changes over time," Chartmetric founder and CEO Sung Cho told Brazil-based Magroove helps independent musicians distribute music on global platforms like Spotify and iTunes, and runs a music-discovery app. A prime selling point for artists on the platform is its affordable distribution services. The company is also testing features to help artists earn more, including a digital-store offering. "I had my history as trying to make it as a musician, knowing absolutely nothing to now being in the position to help other artists and serve them with things that I didn't have back then," cofounder Vítor Cunha told built a subscription service for creators that opens up access to a library of royalty-free music and sound effects. Roughly 40% of its clients are livestreaming gamers, the company told Insider. The company raised in June a $7.5 million Series A in a round led by Sony Music Entertainment. "The 'majors' were not our first target – we initially wanted to go the classic VC route," CMO Jesse Korwin told Insider at the time. "We realized that having one of the major music companies as a backer provided a ton of validity and support for our vision."Spoon Radio Spoon Radio is a live audio platform founded in South Korea that expanded to the US in late 2019. The platform's users tune into different audio rooms, similar to the Clubhouse app, where creators host listening sessions. Users can also tip livestreamers with virtual tokens called "spoons." Read the 15-page pitch deck for Spoon, which has raised more than $59 million in funding Supercast Supercast built a subscription platform designed specifically for podcast creators. The company launched in September 2019 and raised $2 million in seed funding from investors like Form Capital and Table Management. "The world of podcasting is sitting on a goldmine, and they don't even know it," said CEO Jason Sew Hoy. "They've done the hard work of building up the audiences that they may be monetizing by ads. But they have an entirely new additive revenue stream that they can switch on with listeners' subscriptions."Ultimate Playlist Ultimate Playlist is a music-marketing platform that incentivizes users to listen to and rate songs in exchange for daily cash prizes. Each day, the company features a new set of 40 songs on the app. Eventually, the company plans to charge rights holders around $200 to $300 for a song to be included. "There's not a lot out there for this middle-class artist," cofounder Shevy Smith told Insider. "One key component of Ultimate Playlist is that it isn't anchored by superstars."
