Elliott said teams at Newk's Eatery's test kitchen have been working diligently, and guests will start to see exciting new offerings later this year. Beef ‘O’ Brady’s launched 18 new menu classics, including burgers, sub sandwiches, pretzels and bowls, all of which are performing well. The Brass Tap’s food truck menu, which features Premium Picks and $10 Street Smart Values offering a fun, Instagrammable twist on seasonal food-truck classics, launched toward the end of the first quarter and has already received strong feedback.As it continues to grow, the leadership team is working to identify additional ways it can support the strength of the system. In the first quarter, a new mystery shopper program was initiated at Brass Tap locations, allowing owners even more insight into the customer experience and encouraging ongoing improvement to the execution within the four walls.To guide the brands toward a more modern identity, FSC Franchise Co. began developing a smaller, less expensive prototype for Newk’s Eatery and kicked off a refresh of The Brass Tap’s brand identity that will become the new remodel program across the system.“Newk’s footprints will be smaller. To match the off-premise trends we’re seeing, there could be a pickup window or a drive-thru in new and remodeled locations,” Elliott said. “We’re redesigning for more efficiency and lower cost, but the customer experience will be as good as or better than it is today.”With its leveled-up guest experience, ongoing menu innovation and streamlined restaurant prototypes, FSC Franchise Co. remains committed to quick, healthy development across all three of its brands.ABOUT FSC:FSC Franchise Co. is the industry-leading franchisor behind Beef ‘O’ Brady’s and The Brass Tap, with over 180 locations across the United States.
