Join us for the seventh episode of Facilities Unfiltered, a candid conversation series spotlighting the people behind the spaces that power today's most innovative brands.

This time, we're turning the mic toward the organization at the center of the profession. Ecotrak CEO Matt Singer sits down with Debi Kensell, Executive Director and CEO of the Restaurant Facility Management Association, and Heather Webb, Senior Director of Membership, Marketing and Communications, for a conversation about the state of restaurant facilities management from the vantage point of the whole industry.

Join us as Ecotrak CEO Matt Singer sits down with Jim Balis, Partner and Head of Strategic Operations at CapitalSpring.

Jim brings decades of executive leadership experience, having served as CEO, owner, and advisor for some of the restaurant industry’s most recognized brands, including Sizzling Platter, NORMS Restaurants, Buddy’s Pizza, and more. Today, he partners with more than 100 portfolio companies spanning over 90 foodservice and retail brands, helping leadership teams strengthen operations, accelerate growth, and build lasting businesses.

In this session, Ecotrak CEO Matt Singer sits down with Gene Davis, MBA, CRFP, PMP, Sr. Director of Facilities at Mendocino Farms, the fast-casual favorite on a mission to help guests "Eat Happy." With the brand closing in on its 100th location across six states, Gene shares what it takes to keep a rapidly scaling, hospitality-first restaurant brand running at its best — and how data, not gut instinct, drives smarter repair-or-replace decisions.
