After 18 consecutive months of same-store sales increases, <a href="http://www.backyardburgers.com/franchising?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=back-yard-burgers-signs-deal-for-new-restaurant-design-896" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Back Yard Burgers</a> has moved forward with a plan to develop a new restaurant model. The better-burger brand recently signed a deal with Cakewalk, a San Francisco design firm, to develop a new look and feel that is a better representation of the food quality. &#8220;It is a very exciting time for Back Yard Burgers. The company has built a tremendous amount of momentum, and it is important for us to plan for the future,&#8221; said Monte Jump, the company&#8217;s chief operating officer and chief marketing officer. According to Jump, Back Yard Burgers&#8217; executives, franchisees and the board of directors have discussed the project for more than a year. The Nashville, Tennessee-based brand has 68 restaurants, which are primarily located in the Southeastern U.S. Jump said the design project is intended to enhance Back Yard Burgers&#8217; entire floor design, including the dining room and kitchen layout. One unknown is whether guests will have a full view of the kitchen from the dining room and drive thru. Cakewalk will produce up to three designs with at least one design incorporating a view of the kitchen. After Cakewalk provides Back Yard Burgers with the initial proposals, the company&#8217;s board of directors, franchise advisory council and focus groups will select a winning design. Back Yard Burgers expects to be able to offer the new restaurant design in April 2015. &#8220;The project will provide an updated restaurant design that will attract new franchisees and provide our existing franchisees with standards for them to remodel their restaurants,&#8221; Jump added. &#8220;When you remodel there is, typically, a fairly sizeable sales increase, and we believe this will help us elevate the brand.&#8221; Back Yard Burgers recently released impressive results for the third quarter of 2014 ending September 30. The brand&#8217;s company-owned restaurants reported an 11.2 percent increase compared to the same period earlier.
