Maynard explained how <a href="https://1851franchise.com/famoustoastery/info">Famous Toastery</a> took advantage of off-premises dining while doubling down on its core brand principles.“You’re not thinking about anything else but survival. Nothing else matters,” Maynard said. “We made the menus smaller — everything you’re supposed to do, we did in a couple days. We rolled out online ordering in four days, we had curbside delivery the day we shut down. We put out emails about what we’re doing to clean — anything you can do to make people feel as safe as you can during this time,” Maynard said.&nbsp;Maynard also went in-depth on the importance of curbside pickup and delivery for their brand and how they were able to leverage what the Famous Toastery brand was really good at — serving breakfast, brunch and lunch.&nbsp;Listen to the entire interview <a href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/238017/6207805?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=famous-toastery-co-founder-and-ceo-robert-maynard-on-qsr-magazines-fast-forward-podcast-2714399" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
