Urban sociologist Ray Oldenburg coined the idea of the ‘third place’. This means a social gathering hub and a nexus for human interaction – and it’s also the idea that Jon Taffer has built his emerging brand around: Taffer’s Tavern.
Intended to be much more than just a restaurant, Taffer’s Tavern is touted as the ‘bar of the future’. And with its proprietary Taffer’s Safe Dining System, meticulously crafted interior, and technology-driven back-end, it’s easy to see why multi-unit investors are rushing to sign deals all across the States.
On this episode of The Global Franchise Podcast, we sit down with Jon to truly understand his vision for this revolutionary – and possibly controversial – take on the dine-out concept. How do you reinvent a model that’s been in operation for hundreds of years? Tune in to find out.

Making eSport franchising accessible, with Jay Melamed of XP League

eSports are big business. By 2023, it’s predicted that the industry could see revenues of over $1.6bn, and venture capitalists have already invested almost three times that amount in numerous gaming-centric brands. The fact is that gaming has come a long way since the days of Pong – and franchising is starting to notice.
Cue brands like XP League, which is using its ‘league-in-a-box’ model to make this digital arena more accessible than ever before. Jay Melamed, co-founder and CEO of the brand, believes that they could easily hit 100 locations before the end of 2021; despite XP League only launching in September of last year. And this goal is much more than just ambitious talk, as the brand has already grown to 34 locations across 15 U.S. states, with Canadian expansion on the horizon.
On this episode of the Global Franchise Podcast, join us as we speak with Melamed about the topical appeal of eSports, the kind of franchisees that would be perfect for this emerging trend, and why you don’t need to be a gamer to make it big with this virtual gold rush.
