Subway has a new loyalty program, but it is too generous?

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast The Week in Restaurants looks at Subway’s new Sub Club loyalty program, which gives users one free footlong sandwich with the purchase of three. Franchisees say it’s too generous and piles on too many discounts. 

We also look at Noodles & Company, which has taken numerous steps to right its ship but is still being pushed to sell company restaurants. 

Fat Brands, meanwhile, continues to struggle under the weight of heavy debt and received another demand for full payment of its debt. 

And on Tech Check this week, Senior Tech Editor Joe Guszkowski discusses Black Friday.
