Fazoli’s new prototype helps drive sales

Sunday, January 1st, 2012

From Nation’s Restaurant News:

Fazoli’s rebuilding project of the past several years has come to fruition, and the brand expects to end the year with its 18th consecutive month of positive same-store sales growth, chief executive Carl Howard said.

Howard told Nation’s Restaurant News during a tour of the brand’s new prototype in its headquarters city of Lexington, Ky., that November’s 6.6-percent increase in same-store sales was the 220-unit quick-service Italian chain’s best November in more than a decade, and that sales in December were trending even higher.

The company credits its new “Expand Your Taste” menu and its new prototype design — in place at all 125 company-owned restaurants and in several franchise markets — with driving results. Updated Fazoli’s locations have more contemporary décor to match fast-casual service upgrades, like food runners, real plateware and silverware, and greater customization available for the chain’s baked pastas.

The changes have resulted in same-store sales increases running 6 percent to 10 percent above gains elsewhere in Fazoli’s system, Howard said.

The brand will continue to strive for upgrades with the launch of a new customer service initiative that rolls out systemwide on April 9, 2012. The program includes more training for cashiers so they can guide customers through the entire expanded menu and explain dishes without having to turn to the menu board, and all managers will be moved to the dining rooms to deliver bread sticks and visit more tables.

Fazoli’s: Kid Friendly at Parent Friendly Prices!

Monday, August 15th, 2011

We all know Fazoli’s has great breadsticks (Can you smell the warm, buttery goodness?), but did you know they have a great kid’s menu, to boot?

According to their Web site, in 2009 Parent’s Magazine recognized Fazoli’s as one of the 10 best menus for kids out of all fast casual restaurants. Our choices for kids might seem indulgent with items like fettuccine alfredo, meat lasagna, and cheese pizza, but they only contain 260 to 350 calories and 2 to 14 grams of fat; the right amount for young children.

An added perk: check out your local Fazoli’s to find out if they offer Kid’s Night, a fun night of activities with special deals for kids.

Eating: For Families on the Go

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Now that back to school is just around the corner and the kids are at practice or other after school activities, it can be difficult to find time for a healthy meal for the whole family.

One of the most difficult problems families face are the conflicting time schedules that appear as time goes on.  One child may have early practice, one child may have late practice, one spouse may work first shift while the other may work second, and on and on.  So what can you do?  Well you have a few options.

First, if you love to cook, you can try to plan out meals for the week and make some of then items ahead of time.  By planing out your meals and possibly either freezing or refrigerating them, you can have a quick healthy meal ready to eat in a rather short period of time.

Second, is of course picking up food on your way home from work or taxing the kids around.  This option can get expensive rather quickly, however it is a sure fire solution.  Healthy options are generally available at most fast food restaurants, and can also be ordered ahead of time as a “to-go” at many of your favorite sit down restaurants.  Subway and Fazoli’s are two quick but relatively healthy fast food options.

The last option would be to use a service like Waiter on the Way to have your meals delivered.  Waiter on the Way has several great benefits that you can take advantage of to increase your productivity and decrease your downtime.  Did you know that with Waiter on the Way, you can call ahead of time and schedule a delivery of the food items you would like to order?  We even have some customers who place a whole weeks worth of food orders all on one day!  How great would it be to know that all of your meal arrangements can be taken care of in just a few minutes over the phone?  What if somethings comes up?  You can simply call us at least an hour prior to your meal being delivered, and tell us what time you will need it at.

School, work, and dinner can be a tough combination to juggle, but it doesn’t have to be.  Try Waiter on the Way to free up your time, and focus more on the important things in life.
