On this episode of the Restaurant Operator Podcast, host Mandy Wolf Detwiler, managing editor of Networld Media Group, talks to L&L Hawaiian Barbecue CEO Elisia Flores about the brand's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that Flores says are built into her staff as a whole.

"We are founded and headquartered here in Hawai‘i," Flores says. "My office — I'm sitting right here in Hawai‘i. And Hawai‘i, as many people know, is considered a melting pot. We are a very, very diverse community in terms of the ethnic mix. We are a minority majority here unlike most of the places on the continental United States. If I look at the staff here, it's a very diverse group naturally."
