Today we sit down with Seth Cohen, the President/co-founder of Sweetfin. Sweetfin is a healthful, chef-driven, California-inspired poke concept that uses local produce, sustainable fish, and innovative ingredients. In 2015, Sweetfin was created with the goal of providing healthy, nutritious and flavorful bowls and a more approachable way for diners to enjoy sushi. Our fine-casual restaurant concept takes all the familiar flavors of sushi and puts them in an easy to eat, portable, customizable, and affordable bowl.
Sweetfin is centered in their “Pole to Bowl” ethos which means that in sourcing they aim to use the highest-quality and most sustainable raw fish they can find while still maintaining a reasonable price point. Approaching 20 locations today we speak to Seth about:
🐟 Pitching investors on a fast-casual restaurant before fast-casual was popular
🐟 When a huge investor dinner turned into a near-dire medical emergency
🐟 Why supermarket sushi sales are the litmus test for the overall health of the industry
