This was an exerpt from an interview with Jack Butorac, CEO of Marco's Pizza:
What are your biggest challenges now?
The biggest threat to us today — and I don’t see a lot, I’m not afraid of competition — is government. I was at a convention last week when the government announced the delay in Obamacare. That was good, because we’re concerned about how to manage it, how we can be the best employer and attract the best people. I don’t know what government is going to do. The more they get involved in our business, the more concerned I get. They haven’t done a lot of things well, hopefully this will be the first. They seem to want to get more involved in regulating our activities. We like things like the sensitivity to obesity, it’s on target and it helped us come up with low-fat alternatives. It’s one reason we created salads and did what we did with the subs. So, we want their advice but don’t want to be dictated to
Marco's big square with bacon is often my food for the day: Lunch, dinner, and breakfast the next morning. The government probably would like me to eat something else, but they haven't started regulating consumers too much yet. Regulation of business is one thing. It happens all the time within our industry, and in this case with the salads it looks like it created some innovation. But regulation of individuals can threaten all of us.
