Now, as they search for real estate, they’re working to have their first Melting Pot restaurant up and running in the next 12–15 months.1851 Franchise: Frame your personal story for us.&nbsp;What did you do before franchising, and how did you decide franchising made sense for you?Senatore:&nbsp;I’ve been in the financial information services space pretty much all of my career, starting from data entry to product management for a Fortune 500 company. I continue in my career as a business management consultant at a company called TCS. I help my clients to reach their business goals using IT, so I go into companies and try to see what problems they’re looking to solve. We see how my organization can help them with their strategy.We’re big fans of the Melting Pot brand in general. We didn't necessarily know the brand, but we knew the restaurant. It’s somewhere our family loves to frequent for our celebrations. When we heard that the previous location was closing, we were super sad. I started thinking about the opportunity, reached out to The Melting Pot through their website and said I had interest.&nbsp;Reeve:&nbsp;Similarly, I work in financial services information. I’ve been doing that for 25 or so years, really leading product teams to build information products like data and information tools that help bankers and investment managers do analyses. As Daina mentioned, we love the Melting Pot brand. We’ve also worked together in the past and always thought we made a good team as it related to running a family and in business projects. We thought it’d be super fun to work on this project together as a team and family.In addition, my son, Joshua, is going to school at Johnson and Wales, pursuing a degree in culinary and restaurant management. With the combination of our executive corporate skills and his training in culinary arts, we think the three of us can do a really good job. We put together a business plan after we contacted Collin, highlighting the three of us in that format. The rest is history.&nbsp;Senatore: We really want this to be a family-and-friend initiative. A lot of the other owners do the same. There are a lot of trusted employees and people that become part of your Melting Pot family. We’re very much keen on continuing with that trend and ensuring this is a family-friendly atmosphere.1851: What was your perception of franchising prior to becoming a franchisee, and what do you want people to know about franchising now that you are in it?Senatore:&nbsp;I have researched franchises in the past. I do think that we have an entrepreneurial type of mentality. At the time, we were both full-time employees. We thought that owning our own business would be nice. We talk a lot about not having to work for other people and work for ourselves. That’s super appealing, but taking on your own business seems like a lot. Franchising seemed like a really nice way to take a brand and process that’s been proven and execute on that.Reeve:&nbsp;In my early days, before college, I actually took part in a franchise opening in our town. I saw what that franchise did in terms of bringing in people from the head office, training and rolling out the system so that everything was orderly. I started out as kitchen staff and made my way to being a waiter. From that experience, it impressed on me that when you work with a franchise, a lot of the details about how to run a business — where to order from, for example — is decided. You have to execute, but you’re not doing everything from scratch — a combination of wanting to do something together because we do work well together. My experience with franchises. The love of the brand. The fact that there isn’t a single store in Connecticut. That all came together to present a brilliant opportunity.I think what Melting Pot impressed upon us is the infrastructure and services they offer to new franchisees. My understanding is that it is not always as robust as what Melting Pot offers. If you're thinking about franchising, you want to make sure you understand what you get for your franchise fee. They need a track record of being successful. Investigate that.Senatore: You can say Melting Pot has less than 100 stores across the U.S., and you look at that and say, “That's not a huge number compared to some of these other franchises.” But the misnomer is that maybe that's because they can't or do not want to grow to that size. But this is a 40-year-old brand. What I take from that is you really have to understand the process in which they vet people to franchise, and that means a lot. They are looking for the right kind of people, not a high number of people. That's very appealing because you're in good company that feels as though you've been hand-selected versus just having a certain amount of money. The process we went through was really robust. They protect their brand, and I think you want to look for places like that1851:&nbsp;What made you pick this brand? What excites you most about this company?Senatore:&nbsp;I didn't even know what franchising was or what that meant, but I knew that we loved the restaurant and didn’t want it to go away. Collin [Benyo] wrote back, and we’re here based on his and Melting Pot’s support. We’re excited about this new chapter in our life where we’ll go from financial information management to opening a restaurant and building the Melting Pot brand in Connecticut.Reeve:&nbsp;We went down to Melting Pot in Tampa. They were super supportive. We met the CEO, Bob Johnston, who invested a lot of his personal time in connecting with us. Even though we didn't have specific restaurant or franchise experience, this was something we could do and have a lot of fun with.1851:&nbsp;What do you hope to achieve with your business? What are your plans for growth?&nbsp;Senatore:&nbsp;I think long-term this is where we’d like to be, and we have aspirations to expand. We joke about having multiple stores and branching out to the point that every kid has one. That may just be a playful conversation on our part, but we do think about expansion and how we can become more incorporated with the brand. We have goals of multiple stores and this becoming a real business for us, not just one location.We’ve worked all of our lives in Corporate America. I think most people think that starting a restaurant is a career. For us, we’re on-the-go type of people that like to keep busy. I don’t know if our minds could take turning off and retiring completely. This is a great way to stay connected and do something for ourselves and our family that directly affects us and keeps our minds going. This is our retirement strategy. It’s odd that we would take on this work, but together, this is something that we can do into retirement to keep ourselves active and motivated. For us, it’s not just a job but a second career.1851:&nbsp;What is the one thing about your story you want us to know?Senatore:&nbsp;Jonathan and I have been friends and colleagues since 2010. He was my boss. Then, we both left our companies and moved on to other things but stayed friends. Over the years, we became extremely good friends. Three years ago, our situations changed and we became more than friends. We’ve been dating for about three years. We’re engaged to be married in August, and we’re going to be a blended family. We’ve built that foundation and are now moving forward to the next level. Our friendship and history is a nice foundation to support us in moving forward for lots of things.1851:&nbsp;What advice do you have for other people thinking about becoming a franchise owner?Senatore:&nbsp;A lot of times, people have apprehensions of the unknown. Franchising in general is something that, if that is how you feel, it’s a good path to take because there are a lot of unknowns that are solved for you already. You don't have to come up with your own business and idea. These are things that are all proven out with Melting Pot, especially over a long period of time. Franchising is a good way to move forward with less apprehension because some of these problems have been solved already. When we started this, it was super scary. It’s a lot less scary now that we’ve jumped in. People should just take a chance if they have any inkling.Reeve:&nbsp;I would say explore your curiosities, and don’t hesitate. We’re just getting started, but to some extent, I wish we would've done it three or even 10 years ago.&nbsp;What was also useful is that Melting Pot gives us access to other franchise owners, so we reached out to many of them and had conversations about their experience. That helps not only thinking about the logistics and mechanics, but they're all very happy. There are multiple franchisees with multiple stores, and that says something. That feeling that the people that have tried the franchise love it and continue to do more also filled us with confidence.Total investments range from $1.3 million–$1.5 million.&nbsp;For more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot/info">https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot/info</a>.&nbsp;About Melting Pot&nbsp;Founded in 1975, Melting Pot has offered a unique fondue dining experience for more than 45 years.

Fondue Franchise Opportunities

As&nbsp;<a href="http://meltingpotfranchise.com">Melting Pot</a>, the 93-unit fondue franchise, celebrates Women’s History Month, there is a clear spotlight shining on Bentonville, Arkansas, where mother-daughter duo Diana Bonnett and Candice Hickerson are leading the successful operation of the brand’s first location in the state. For the pair, bringing the iconic fondue brand to Arkansas was the next step in a long-term business partnership built around trust, grit and shared entrepreneurial spirit.“As the daughter, my mom and stepdad owned a construction company when I was very young. Being in a family business… I don’t know any different,” Hickerson said. “By the time I was seven or eight, I was in their office. I always saw them working. I think because I grew up in it, seeing my parents earn their money and understanding how much each family member needs to contribute, it made it easy to transition to business ownership when I was old enough.”In her early 20s, Hickerson approached her mother with research and a business plan to start a group home for children and adults with disabilities, and they began growing this concept together.<h2>The Transition to the Hospitality Industry</h2>Hickerson and Bonnett operated the residential care facilities business for about 20 years in California before the family began considering relocating outside of California. Around this time, Hickerson was on a date with her husband,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-r-hickerson-69880923/">Chad</a>, at the Sacramento&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot/info">Melting Pot</a> location, one of their favorite restaurants, and they thought, “Why don’t we open a Melting Pot?”The family ended up moving to Arkansas, noting that Bentonville is particularly suited for the Melting Pot model.As they’ve made the transition to a new state and opened their new Melting Pot restaurant, Hickerson and Bonnett have stayed true to the family business model.“Owning a business is hard, but you have your hands in everything,” Bonnett said. “You’re accountable for the business, but you can feel confident knowing you have a hand in the future of the business. Just standing back and not being active in the business isn’t our style. Business ownership is great. I wish more women did it.”While the pair recognized taking the leap to a new industry would be a risk, it was a calculated, well-researched one, and they took the step with confidence in each other and their ability to work as a team.“We’re in the process of transitioning right now,” Hickerson added. “We have one business that’s been operating for almost 20 years and another brand new one. We’re starting from square one with Melting Pot. We’re still working to scale and reinvest in the business. People don’t always tell you how hard business ownership can be; we’re back to a point where we’re expecting three solid years of hard work with Melting Pot, but we also see the bigger picture. Risk is good, and I know that, in a couple of years, it will all pay off if we just don’t stop.”<h2>Leading as Women in Business</h2>Though they recognize the responsibility associated with business ownership and leadership, Hickerson and Bonnett remain strong proponents of women taking these positions.“Don’t be short-sighted because it’s tough,” Bonnett said. “There have been times with Melting Pot where I’ve thought, ‘I don’t know if I can do this,’ but you have to see the vision. Look at what’s working well, what’s not, and what changes you can make. There are a lot of networks to reach out to. Find a mentor; chat with someone. We’ve found another Melting Pot owner who we’ve been able to go to for guidance. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.”In addition to encouraging other women to explore entrepreneurship, the pair recognizes how their approach to leadership as women can influence their own business.“Women, historically, are seen as abrasive when we lean in, but I’m okay with being perceived that way if I need to for the sake of my business,” Hickerson said. “But there are also times when I don’t want to do that. I’m very empathetic. I think that this does have a lot of benefits. Staff are happy and comfortable knowing they can go to a woman in leadership if they need to.”For other women entering the business world, Hickerson and Bonnett recommend balancing your own identity with the realities of business ownership. With a strong sense of self, you can stay consistent and steady while operating with your values in mind. However, it’s also important to be confident enough to admit when you’re not sure or own a mistake for the long-term health of the team and business.“One of the hardest things for me has been owning my mistakes or not responding when I don’t know the answer to something rather than responding emotionally,” Bonnett said. “But the more you do it, the better manager and owner you become.”To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot">https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot</a>.

TAMPA, Fla.&nbsp;— After marking its 50th anniversary last year,&nbsp;<a href="http://meltingpotfranchise.com">Melting Pot</a> entered 2026 with strong momentum. In the first quarter, the 93-unit fondue franchise saw a major lift around Valentine’s Day and recorded its highest-ever donation following its 22nd year participating in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.stjude.org/">St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s</a> annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.meltingpot.com/blog/melting-pot-launches-22nd-annual-st--jude-thanks-and-giving-campaign-benefiting-st--jude-childrens-research-hospital/">Thanks and Giving® campaign</a>.While Valentine’s Day is a natural focus for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot/info">Melting Pot</a>, this year’s results were even more impressive. The brand reported a 19% increase in net sales and a 20% increase in guest count year-over-year. A review of Valentine’s Day performance over the past decade highlights that 75 restaurants recorded their highest single-day sales, eight restaurants recorded their highest weekly sales, and two restaurants recorded their highest monthly sales around the February holiday.“The energy felt throughout the entire system this Valentine’s Day was remarkable, and it speaks to our staying power as a brand. Melting Pot continues to be the destination of choice for celebrating life’s special moments,” said CEO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-r-crawford-784a0810/">John “JC” Crawford</a>. “Seeing dozens of restaurants shattering records is a major win for our franchisees and their teams.”The brand’s financial success was matched by a similar rise in guest satisfaction. Melting Pot’s Net Promoter Score improved by over 10% year-over-year to reach 65, a benchmark that puts the brand among the top-performing concepts in the hospitality space. Leaders throughout the system have placed an ongoing emphasis on the guest journey and operational strategy, and it’s clear it’s paying off in guests’ perceptions of food quality, staff friendliness, pacing and overall value.“NPS is one of the most important indicators of guest loyalty, and we’ve made it a core focus across the brand,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-zurcher-73067917">Matthew Zurcher</a>, vice president of franchise and restaurant operations. “Since beginning to track in 2022, we’ve improved from the low 50s to a 65 over the past year. We’ve achieved this by partnering closely with our franchisees — celebrating wins, identifying opportunities and providing the tools, training and data needed to continuously elevate the guest experience.”As Melting Pot has focused on its impact on guests, it has not lost sight of efforts beyond the four walls. Last year was the 22nd year the brand participated in St. Jude’s Thanks and Giving Campaign, and thanks to the generosity and passion of local operators, team members and guests, Melting Pot donated a record-breaking $1,278,308 to the hospital. Earlier this year, the teams who made it possible celebrated on the annual St. Jude Winners’ Trip to Memphis.“As is always the case, it is a highlight of the year for my wife and me to host our most committed team members at St. Jude Children’s Hospital,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-johnston-4b6b0a4a">Bob Johnston</a>, chairman of the board. “This gives us a chance to thank our team members and allows them to see firsthand the work that they and our customers are supporting. We are grateful to have a community of franchisees that generously supports our fundraising efforts. They make it easy for the guest to be generous through our voucher program, creating a cycle of generosity that pays dividends for the brand in terms of employee engagement and culture building.”This commitment to a culture of service and performance is a powerful springboard for Melting Pot’s next phase of expansion. As the brand continues building momentum, it is targeting strategic expansion in Des Moines, Iowa; Birmingham, Alabama; Memphis, Tennessee; Boston, Massachusetts and Fort Wayne, Indiana.“Our Q1 performance is the result of a brand that continues to push forward,” Crawford said. “Whether it’s unit-level performance or systemwide philanthropic impact, Melting Pot is stronger than ever, and we’re incredibly optimistic as we step into our next 50 years of operations.”About Melting PotFounded in 1975, Melting Pot has offered a unique fondue dining experience for more than 50 years.

Melting Pot Breaks Records in Q1, Including Unprecedented Valentine’s Day Sales and Highest-Ever St. Jude Thanks and Giving® Donation

q1-record-sales-st-jude

Over its 50-plus-year history,&nbsp;<a href="http://meltingpotfranchise.com">Melting Pot</a>, the 93-unit fondue franchise, has built its reputation around service and experiential dining, encouraging its guests to focus on an engaging experience and welcoming atmosphere with the ones they love. As it has grown,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot/info">Melting Pot</a> has also been a part of a rapidly evolving restaurant landscape, and the brand has navigated new technologies and guest behaviors to embrace new tools and maintain local success without straying too far from its core identity. Now,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-barnett-1a948a9/">Randy Barnett</a>, chief technology officer, is navigating today’s changing technology landscape in a way that embraces what will work while staying level-headed and always putting the guest and franchisee experience first.“Our responsibility is to implement systems, support those systems, then future-proof the business,” he said. “In a nutshell, that’s what we do from a technology perspective. But we don’t just chase trends. It’s about protecting the guest experience and strengthening the franchise model. We have a pretty simple goal: to make it easy for the guests to connect with our brand and easy for operators to deliver on that exceptional experience every day.”<h2>Focusing on Data First Creates a Strong Foundation</h2>New restaurant technology trends and resources are consistently evolving, but Barnett doesn’t embrace them across the Melting Pot system “just because.” Without a foundation, additional technology doesn’t bring value; it creates confusion.&nbsp;So, Barnett has focused intently on building a “reliable data environment” with standardized reporting structures and modernized systems. With this as a baseline, he’s able to more strategically implement new tools and ensure they’re actually helping Melting Pot operators and their guests rather than further complicating processes for no real benefit.The increasing relevance of artificial intelligence has been a prime example of why this strategy is so important.“AI is putting its footprint everywhere,” Barnett said. “For us, before we could start taking advantage of AI, or any modern technology, for that matter, we started building foundations. That meant cleaning up data, creating standardized reporting, modernizing our systems… just making sure that we could really trust what we were seeing. Once you have the clean data and strong infrastructure,&nbsp;then you can start scaling technology in a way that’s meaningful and consistent.”<h2>Practical AI Applications With a Hospitality-First Philosophy</h2>With the proper foundation in place, Melting Pot has been able to embrace new tools and technologies as they have become available to reduce friction and increase the overall quality of experience for the guest.&nbsp;This has come in many forms. Melting Pot has adopted AI tools to support stronger hyper-localized communication and better guest engagement, create a better ticketing system and reduce response time for franchisees reaching out to the Restaurant Support Center, and bolster in-restaurant guest interactions and streamline labor and prep forecasting and requirements. The brand is also working on a new allergen and nutritional intelligence tool to help guests make more informed dining decisions while maintaining compliance for franchisees.Even with all of these tools and processes on board, Melting Pot is still a hospitality-first brand, and Barnett keeps that in mind as he evaluates and rolls out new technology initiatives.“We always lead with the fact that the best restaurant technology is invisible to your guest,” he said. “If we’re doing it right, the guest just feels like the experience is smoother. It’s more personal and more consistent. The most important thing is that we don’t lose what makes the brand special. Melting Pot is about celebration, connection and experience, and technology shouldn’t get in the way of that. It should just make it easier for our teams to deliver that.”<h2>The Future of Melting Pot, Driven by a Broader Perspective</h2>In addition to his tenure with Melting Pot and deep commitment to the hospitality aspect of the brand, Barnett brings additional perspectives from his role on external advisory boards. Through these connections, Barnett stays at the forefront of the industry and is able to both keep an eye out for new tools that will be useful for Melting Pot and hear different perspectives that allow him to differentiate between the next big thing and industry “noise.”“Being a part of some external advisory boards, particularly of AI companies, helps me stay close to where the innovation is going,” he said. “It gives me some early visibility into what’s real and what’s hype and what’s actually practical for operators. The value is the perspective that helps me make better decisions as a brand leader and helps me ensure we’re not caught reacting late to something that’s already reshaping the industry.”With this in mind, Barnett watches what’s coming in the industry while remaining extremely disciplined about what will truly drive the future of Melting Pot that guests and operators are looking for. As the brand looks toward its next decades of operations, it will continue to merge technical precision and the warmth of celebration and togetherness in a way that makes sense for everyone impacted by the experience.“Everything we implement is designed to create leverage for franchisees,” Barnett said. “Restaurants are high-pressure environments, and operators don’t just need more dashboards. They need more clarity and impact. Our technologies help them simplify decisions by allowing them to see what matters most — what guests are saying, what’s working in marketing and where opportunities are being missed. I believe that the future belongs to brands that can deliver the hospitality experience with the precision of a modern platform, and that’s really what we’re focused on doing.” To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot">https://1851franchise.com/meltingpot</a>.&nbsp;
