Game-changing technology
Avery also emphasized : “ Our scale and size have allowed us to lock in long-term contracts at more cost-effective prices . This , coupled with our strong relationships , helps us weather challenges across the supply chain industry , such as product shortages . At FAT Brands , we can find a way to source that respective product to avoid disruption across our restaurants . This is much more difficult for small business owners . Additionally , as part of the partnerships with our broad line partners , FAT Brands is currently working on implementing proprietary technology that will allow us to gain greater visibility into supply chain cost components and will extend custom contracting capabilities to help us deliver products to market faster and within specification . Speed , cost , and quality are essential components for a healthy supply chain , so we see this technology as a gamechanger for FAT Brands .”
Tomlin , Chief Supply Chain Officer of QSR Division , added : “ Aside from our scale , something unique to FAT Brands is that we have a 40,000-square-foot manufacturing facility . Currently , we produce cookie batter and pretzel mix for two of our brands , Great American Cookies and Pretzelmaker . With our product being sourced internally and our expertise in food safety and food regulations , we can collaborate in a more detailed manner with vendors and distributors . For example , we can capitalize on synergies and partnerships at the ingredient level . One example is our strategic relationship with Mars , who provides us with toppings for some of our best-selling cookies such as our Chocolate Chip Cookie with Mini M & M ’ s - my personal favorite . Seasonal M & M ’ s are used during Valentine ’ s Day , 4th of July , and Christmas . Currently , we are planning to launch limited-time
