“ FAT Brands is truly a fascinating company from a supply chain standpoint ,” opened Avery , Global Head of Partnerships and Supply Chain Strategy and SVP of D . E . I . “ While there are commonalities across our portfolio - we have a wide array of concepts and cuisines . We operate fast casual , quick-service , casual dining , and polished casual dining concepts . On top of that , our cuisines range from burgers , wings , pizza , ice cream , and cookies to bar fare and more . You might be thinking - how do you manage all of that ? It comes down to leveraging our scale and having strong partner relationships . Similarly , there are parallels across our brands where we can flex our muscles . Since aggregating our many brands , we
have come up with a number of successful co-branded concepts . In 2023 , we opened the first cobranded Fatburger and Round Table Pizza restaurant , which offers nearly complete menus from each concept . These co-branded and even tri-branded concepts leverage occupancy , equipment , and food and labor costs in the most efficient way possible .”
The different layers we navigate with our FAT Brands concepts make us well-suited to supply other restaurant brands
