Khanh Nguyen, who came to the US as a South Vietnamese refugee, is bringing tech startup thinking to his growing Zalat Pizza chain.
Started from scratch out of nowhere, this fast-growing pizza company helped change the way you think about ordering in.Khanh Nguyen's family and friends told him getting into the restaurant business was the worst decision ever, but that didn't stop him. Now he heads the fast-growing chain Zalat Pizza.
After graduating from the University of Houston, Nguyen got a law degree, worked as a corporate security attorney, and then co-founded a tech company that made software for hospitals. After selling the startup, Khanh wanted a new challenge. "I had never made a pizza before that, but I'm pretty obsessive and meticulous when I take something on," said Nguyen. "Many will say it's the best pizza they've ever had."
"Wed have a discussion about, 'hey we don't have a passenger for you, but would you mind taking this pizza? 3 out of 4 of them would take it. The fourth one would cuss us out," said Nguyen. After a few months, he reached out to Uber and came to an agreement to try out a delivery system that would become Uber Eats.
