Our family restaurant of 32 years caught fire. Although devastating, it offered us the ability to start fresh and rethink the flow of the business. We partnered with local construction engineers, contractors, and the county building department to reconfigure the floor plan. We overhauled the interior and exterior design, which led to several vendor relationships that helped produce custom-made signage and furniture to fit the new aesthetic. We refreshed our branding - leaning into the original logo and establishing complementary type, color palette, and marketing assets (illustrations). We overhauled our website (burgerqueendrivein.com) to give more immediate access to menu items, job applications, and contact info.Our biggest update was the introduction of a POS (point-of-sale). It required a foundational shift in restaurant workflow: ordering process, kitchen operations, customer experience, and employee responsibilities. It was a sharp learning curve that was painful at first, but has offered extreme benefits to overall process and output.
