The restaurant industry is experiencing significant changes, with major chains like Chipotle investing in innovative technologies such as collaborative robots and autonomous delivery vehicles. However, challenges persist, exemplified by BurgerFi's bankruptcy filing, signaling potential market consolidation in the fast casual segment. The blurring lines between QSRs and fast casual concepts are intensifying competition, while economic pressures may impact consumer spending habits. Franchising and refranchising strategies are being explored as ways to generate cash and reduce costs. As the industry looks towards 2025, success will likely depend on a brand's ability to innovate, clearly communicate its value proposition, and adapt to evolving consumer preferences.RestaurantInnovation #FastCasualChallenges #FoodTechTrends

The fast-food industry is changing. RB's Top 500 ranking of the biggest chains is out. And BurgerFi is weighing its options.

BurgerFi announced that it would be rebranding to ChickenFi as it introduces new chicken sandwiches. There is no indication if this is a permanent rebrand or a temporary marketing move.The Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based fast-casual restaurant brand debuted a fried-chicken sandwich and a grilled-chicken sandwich on its permanent menu on May 21.The chain's chicken breast is prepared sous-vide. The new sandwiches come grilled or hand-breaded and fried, topped with fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles, and honey mustard.The new sandwiches join the brand's Jumbo Chicken Wings, Chicken Tenders, and Grilled Chicken Bowls.Since the debut of Popeyes' chicken sandwich in 2019, there's been a surge in chicken-sandwich products across the industry, many brands trying to chase Chick-fil-A's success in the category.Technomic data shows that chicken sandwiches are continually increasing on menus despite their seeming ubiquity. In 2023, chicken sandwiches grew on menus by 0.4% and the five-year growth is expected to be 1.1%.

In court documents, Red Lobster CEO Jonathan Tibus said that Red Lobster's seafood supplier, Thai Union, which is also its largest shareholder, may have had corporate mismanagement and possible shady dealings. A filled with rumor and speculation has, as we found out through court documents, become quite complicated and dramatic.Read more about Red Lobster's demise from Bret Thorn:· It wasn't just ‘Ultimate Endless Shrimp' that drove Red Lobster to bankruptcyAlso, the NRN editors once again spoke about marketing. Reminiscent of IHOP's IHOb move a few years ago, BurgerFi changed its name to ChickenFi this week to promote its new chicken sandwiches. While it may seem silly, the name change worked for IHOP and led them to sell four times as many burgers. Will it work for BurgerFi and chicken sandwiches?For some of our editors' thoughts on the National Restaurant Association Show, check out these episodes of First Bite:· Joanna Fantozzi on the tech scene· Alicia Kelso on the labor pictureThis week's guest is Sherif Mityas, CEO of Brix Holdings.

Savor the flavors of this week's guests on Food Farms & Chefs Radio Show, because they're cooking up some hot commodities in their kitchens.  From a self-taught Barbecuer, to a fast-casual burger joint, and some dessert to follow--these dynamic individuals are creating treats for all of us to eat!We began our episode with Terrell Barkley, who started his BBQ business after he unintentionally became the neighborhood grill master.  He found his passion, and skill, to barbecuing while he was recovering from an injury.  When he started to cook, the neighbors sniffed out the delicious offerings, and soon he found himself feeding all the children and their parents.  As fate would have it, he met someone who wanted out of their business, and soon it became Barkley's BBQ.   His popularity grew with every tasty bite, and soon he expanded to meet the requests of his fans, committing to a food truck in addition to his brick and mortar location.We next wanted you to MEAT the self-proclaimed serial entrepreneur of Cherry Hill, or his newest endeavor that is.  Mathew Daniel, who is a young, talented, and very driven individual is no stranger to owning his own business; he has formerly owned a Frutta Bowl franchise, as well as Cloud Lounge.  Now, Daniel is the owner of BurgerFi in Cherry Hill, NJ, and he had his General Manager, Nicole Jackson, join us on Food, Farms, & Chefs.  After discussing a little history of her own journey in the hospitality industry, we dug in...to BurgerFi and what distinguishes their brand from all the others.  Lastly, we spoke with Vanessa Jackson, owner and founder of Philly Cheesecake Lady.  After spending an astounding 34-years without tasting this decadent dessert, Jackson took her first bite of cheesecake during an office holiday party.  To her delight, she fell in love with the rich and creamy treat, committing to a weekly outing to Macaroni Grill for some more. It didn't take too long before she started making them at home, and eventually created cheesecakes that the whole family relished in.  Seeing an opportunity, and not wasting it, she eventually opened a brick and mortar location, and has seen continued growth ever since.  Now, Philly Cheesecake Lady is a family affair with both of her daughters co-owning and operating the booming business alongside her.  If you would like to know more of the delicious details, tune in at 6pm on WWDB 860 AM & WPEN HD2 97.5 in the Philadelphia listening area on Tuesdays, or 1pm on Fridays in the Hudson Valley, NY, CT, and North Jersey regions on WMLD 103.7 FM, or you can stream our show at anytime by asking your smart device to play FOOD FARMS AND CHEFS RADIO SHOW!
