Fast Casual Dining

Takeout tech is taking off. Restaurant operators and tech vendors share what’s hot now and where the industry is headed. 

Revel will also support the launch of Friendly's Cafe, a fast-casual concept.

HT caught up with Cassie Cooper to talk about the brand's 'Secret Menu' loyalty hook and upcoming tech initiatives.

5% of the support center staff were cut from the payroll.

Rob McColgan, current MRC CEO, will continue to lead the Modern Market and Lemonade brands. Keith Guilbault, current QDOBA CEO, will continue to lead QDOBA. Both will serve as Co-CEOs of MRC.

SYNQ3's Conversational AI ordering technologies and ACRELEC OrderMatic's intelligent audio system work in tandem to help restaurant operators navigate the new drive-thru landscape amidst labor shortages, rising costs, and strained order-taking environments.

The secret menu is a perk reserved for its loyalty members. Plus, the fast casual restaurant adds more features to its loyalty app.

Fans can score free Bitcoin, Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana, or Dogecoin and use their crypto to buy real food at Chipotle.
