TL;DR
Layne's Chicken Fingers' COO, Wattar, discussed supply chain issues and maintaining relationships with vendors. Layne's has taken measures such as changing packaging and sourcing chicken from a different supplier to address these issues.
For Wattar, confronting the problem has been simply a matter of maintaining relationships. "A supply chain is mainly building relationships," Wattar said. “We have had the opportunity to have great relationships with our vendors and create those contracts that we've had over the last year and a half to sustain and maintain those contracts to stay at those prices for our franchisees as long as we maintain the level of volume that we're purchasing.”
Wattar also detailed some measures Layne’s had to take, including changing their packaging and sourcing chicken from a different supplier.
