The nature of the meal is one for sharing and bringing people together. In addition, with a team of over 50 people at the Melting Pot headquarters in Tampa, Florida that support all franchised locations and one business unit focusing on purchasing and distribution, Melting Pot does very intelligent buying on behalf of the franchisees to try to stabilize or drive down costs where possible.Even during the pandemic, a very challenging time for businesses, specifically restaurants, Melting Pot ended up over 22% higher in 2021 than in 2019 — including 2,372 days of zero sales due to COVID related closures. Johnston hopes to continue this success by focusing on employees and making them feel secure and happy in their environment.&nbsp;“Nearly all of our team members are on their way to something else. Our job is to create a learning environment, a comfortable environment, a rewarding environment, a fun environment for them while they're with us,” said Johnston.&nbsp;Watch the full video&nbsp;<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/fondue-restaurant-melting-pot-booming-191633355.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=yahoo-finance-fondue-restaurant-melting-pot-is-booming-for-2-primary-reasons-ceo-says-2718474" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
