Headquartered in the Dallas metro area, Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen is one of the top-ranked full-service restaurant chains in the United States. The company was founded in 1979, is privately held, and operates family-friendly, upscale casual-dining restaurants. Nation-wide its stores are well known for the exceptional value of their delicious made from scratch meals and diverse cocktail menu.
The brand has approximately 160 U.S. locations and is approaching $1 billion in system-wide revenue. Our client regularly earns top awards from Zagat (best full-service restaurant chain; top overall in American cuisine), Consumer Reports (#1 Pub Style or Grill Category), and Nation’s Restaurant News, by serving some of the best steaks, chicken, seafood, burgers, salads and desserts in its comfortable neighborhood-style restaurants.
Our client has grown at a rapid pace during the last few years, successfully launching new stores – both company-owned and franchised – across the U.S. and is now visible in about 60% of the States. The company’s newly-appointed CEO, himself a talented chef and seasoned food and hospitality industry veteran, understands the critical need now to assess the organization’s current state, learn from what they’ve done exceptionally well, and consolidate and translate those learnings into driving innovation and continuous improvement towards an even brighter and more successful future state.
