Why Restaurants Need to Shift Strategy for the Stay-at-Home Consumer at MURTEC
More consumers are ordering out and eating in. Savvy restaurants have to evolve to serve the changing consumer as the stay-at-home economy gains traction.
Carl Howard, CEO of Fazoli’s, will provide insight into how brands must create an online and delivery experience with the same passion as the dine-in experience if they want to exist in three years.
This MURTEC session, MURTALK 3 on March 12, is a 20-minute hard-hitting Ted-Talk style session. Throughout his tenure as CEO of the fast-casual Italian chain, Howard has re-engineered the brand from a QSR concept facing many challenges to a thriving and growing fast casual brand with over 35 locations planned to open in the next two years. Under his leadership, Fazoli’s has now posted 16 consecutive quarters of same store sales growth and have seen sales remain positive for 78 of the last 82 months. Howard has received many industry accolades throughout his 35 years in the food service industry.
