Recently, our SVP of Strategic Growth Kim DeCarolis emphasized our commitment to revitalizing restaurant brands with new life in an interview with Nation's Restaurant News Alicia Kelso at the National Restaurant Association Show. "We are collecting brands that maybe got forgotten. We put them in our portfolio and give them the Craveworthy "'cycle'" – update tech, bring in some other concepts we’ve created – virtual kitchens – as an additional way of revenue and we really bring a resurgence for these concepts. Growing intentionally is top of mind, so we do it right.” Beyond revitalization, our mission focuses on creating a platform where brands thrive, leveraging our operational strength and diverse cuisine offerings to support franchise partners' growth at the same time.

For two years I had the privilege to be mentored by none other than Dave Thomas. His only condition? That when I had the opportunity, I would return the favor to others. Mentorship is a big part of franchising with Craveworthy Brands and I had a great time talking about this with Josh Kopel on the Full Comp podcast.
