As Jollibee expanded across the U.S., the focus was clear: lower build and operating costs without compromising the guest experience. We partnered with the brand to assess operations, design a scalable back-of-house prototype, and create standards that could be rolled out consistently across the growing fleet.
Foodservice Equipment Specifications
Buc-ee’s
postBuc-ee’s operates at a scale few brands can match, where the kitchen is a core driver of speed, consistency, and the overall guest experience. As the brand expanded into new formats, we reengineered kitchen design and execution to maximize labor productivity, increase throughput, and improve speed of service across every location.
White Castle
postWhite Castle set out to reimagine the guest experience while honoring its legacy. The result is a flexible, scalable platform that blends nostalgia with next-gen expectations, designed to deliver memorable moments for Cravers today and tomorrow.
Wawa
postWawa wanted to innovate its foodservice operations while preserving the guest experience that built its cult following. We reimagined the operating model to function more like a QSR or fast-casual brand—pairing a newly updated store design with an optimized kitchen—to create a scalable system that improved efficiency and significantly boosted sales.
Tropical Smoothie Cafe
postTropical Smoothie Cafe needed to increase service speed, reduce labor inefficiencies, and standardize layouts to keep pace with rapid growth. We were brought in to reimagine the production area—designing a single scalable layout that delivers faster service and consistent guest experiences across all formats.
Krispy Kreme
postKrispy Kreme set out to evolve—refreshing its iconic brand while preparing operations for rapid global growth. Together, we reimagined the shop experience for the first time in over a decade, building a scalable design system ready for worldwide rollout and transforming ambitious concepts, like the Times Square flagship, into high-performing realities.
Shake Shack
postAs Shake Shack grew from a NYC cult favorite into a global brand, the challenge was scaling with intention while preserving its craveable charm. Together we introduced new formats—from flagship stores to frictionless drive-thrus—that elevated operations and created community-focused experiences, proving that scale and soul can grow side by side.
SeaWorld
postSeaWorld needed foodservice venues that could handle large guest volumes without sacrificing experience. We developed two flexible models—a market-style layout for exploration and a cafeteria-style layout for speed—designed to scale across multiple parks while keeping service smooth and enjoyable.
