Featured Projects
Driving Growth from a Regional Brand to National Chain
At a pivotal point for growth, the Bojangles team engaged The Moseley Group to develop their “restaurant of the future”, including both FOH and BOH strategic design optimizations to drive successful, profitable and rapid growth nationwide. Our work has been implemented and today Bojangles is considered one of the country’s fastest growing restaurant franchises, with over 250 locations in the yearly pipeline – opening in new markets regularly. Our design is featured throughout industry publications and our 500-page detailed development guide is used throughout all new build and remodel opportunities. Our work landed with a cost-effective, scalable and profitable business model that is highly competitive in today’s franchise market.
Labor & Metric Optimization for Growth
The Torchy’s Tacos story began in 2006 when founder Mike Rypka bought himself a food trailer to serve scratch-made Damn Good tacos and hand-deliver them on his bright red Vespa in Austin, Texas. Torchy’s has grown to over 110 locations since their food trailer days, and the team has remained committed to high-quality, made-to-order tacos. With goals for metric optimization to fuel rapid growth, the Torchy’s team sought an optimized menu strategy, labor model and kitchen design that was applicable for both new and existing real estate. The Moseley Group worked holistically with the Torchy’s Tacos team to deliver on each objective, now realizing best-in-class metrics, improved profitability and the greater ability to successfully scale in new markets.
Brand & Business Model Transformation
Our team has a deep background working with the Cumberland Farms brand. In 2008, Ari Haseotes – CEO of Cumberland Farms – picked up a MAP package wedge sandwich with a 30-day shelf life and said: “What do I need to change to sell more of these?”
To become a brand known for food, we holistically transformed the guest experience, building trust and driving food sales. Our work included brand and logo development, prototype design, complete culinary, operations, and supply chain soup-to-nuts transformation from the street appeal to back of house technologies. Our work over a decade ago set the stage for a Cumberland Farm’s evolution, new opportunities, sustained growth and scalability.
Then, in 2021, our team was engaged following the purchase of Cumberland Farms by EG America, as the business was at a turning point – looking at expansive new growth and new foodservice opportunities across the United States. We defined the overarching brand, foodservice, and operations of three proprietary foodservice concepts that drive sales and improved experiences. Find “Big Cluk Chicken,” “Ria’s Pizza,” or “Farmhouse Kitchen” at an EG location near you.
Providing the Strategic Framework to Fuel Growth
The idea of Hart House was brought to The Moseley Group by Kevin Hart and his team of investors – a forward-thinking group of entrepreneurs that aspired to deliver a better for you, better for the planet, and better-tasting burger experience – that just happened to be 100% plant-based. Our core objective was to develop and define the business’s core equities across brand, design, menu, operations, supply chain and guest experience – delivering a new restaurant operating model capable of sustained profitability and growth. Our holistic work led to a successful concept launch and continued growth ahead.
