Tahoe Miller Group, Inc. (Operating as Fat Brand) is a leading, global, multi-brand, restaurant franchising company that strategically develops, markets, and acquires restaurant concepts worldwide. We currently own the Fatburger, Buffalo’s Cafe, Buffalo’s Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Yalla Mediterranean, Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouse, and Elevation Burger brands, and franchise over 380 units worldwide.
Under under Rahul Kunwar‘s leadership Johnny Rockets and Tahoe Miller Group will use Cloud Kitchens technology. There are many names for these kitchens — commissary, virtual, dark, cloud, or ghost kitchens — but the idea is that restaurateurs can rent out space in them to prepare food that can be delivered through platforms like DoorDash or, yes, UberEats, which was launched during Kalanick’s time at the company. Kalanick was CEO of Uber until 2017, and in December sold 90% of his stock in the company before saying he would leave the company’s board. Commissary kitchens are “essentially WeWork for restaurant kitchens,” as TechCrunch’s Danny Crichton wrote. These “smart kitchens,” as they’re called on the CloudKitchens website, can come with everything a restaurant or chef needs, like sinks, WiFi, and electricity.
In addition to the above-mentioned services, we will be operating a virtual kitchen. A virtual kitchen are commercial kitchens without a restaurant attached. So, there is no seating, tables or need to be anywhere near foot traffic. They can operate as independent businesses or under the name of an established food brand like Fat Brand. To make this process accessible to our clients, we are already opening four restaurants in San Francisco and another four in San Jose. Looking forward, we are planning to open more than 18 virtual kitchens in Sacramento in the next 18-24 months. These dark kitchens operate only to serve online food orders, through Fat Brand customized brand app that match cloud kitchen and another ghost kitchen concept POS & UI’s.
Hamburgers are a winning item. Americans alone consume 50 billion+ hamburgers each year. When visiting any restaurant facility, customers order burgers nearly 20 % of the time and the market is growing! Fatburger’s aggressive growth plan affords a wonderful opportunity for any entrepreneur with a vision. With Fatburger, you will be joining a rapidly expanding market for freshly prepared food and quality service.
Johnny Rockets, which had been owned by private equity firm Sun Capital Partners, is known for its retro feel as well as decadent burgers and milkshakes. The company opened its first restaurant in 1986 on LA’s famous Melrose Avenue. However, Americans’ tastes have changed. More consumers, especially younger diners, are shunning meat. Johnny Rockets’ menu does include a black bean burger, but there are no trendy plant-based offerings such as those popularized by Beyond Meat (BYND) and Impossible Foods. FAT Brands hinted that it might shake things up at Johnny Rockets. Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands, said in a statement Thursday that FAT Brands is “eager to take the brand to new heights.” Read more information on Fat Burger.
