Grégoire, a French-inspired restaurant in Berkeley, California, owned by trained chef Grégoire Jacquet, was opened in 2002. Since then, Jacquet has encountered numerous challenges like the 2008 recession,  inflation, COVID-related lockdowns. Grégoire recently spoke to Fast Casual about how his restaurant has not only survived times of economic uncertainty but has prospered.

He also discussed how offering a loyalty program has not only helped build a customer base, but has kept customers coming back for more. Grégoire, which offers high-quality fine dining-style food with the convenience of a quick carry-out experience, is now looking to open more franchises across the San Francisco Bay Area.

You can read more about the story of Jacquet, and how the restaurant grew during the pandemic here.
