What an incredible time at the šŸŽ‰ We loved connecting with restaurant leaders and sharing the stage to discuss what it really takes to scale a brand without building a massive back office.

Mark Cimino, President of Consolidated Concepts presented a powerful case study in the Prove Your Case portion of the event, featuring their partnership with Kyle Frederick, CEO of Original ChopShop

Together, they told the story of how Original ChopShop grew from 3 to 29 locations across Texas, Arizona, and Georgiaā€”while adding 7 points of margin and keeping food, beverage, and paper costs consistently under 30%. šŸ“‰

The secret? Strategic purchasing partnerships that go beyond the plate. From menu complexity across 5 dayparts to hidden savings in everyday essentials like gloves, trash liners, and paper products, it's proof that looking "under the hood" of your P&L pays off.

Opening another location is one decision. Knowing when to grow and how to carry your brand and culture with you takes a bigger conversation.

Our president, Mark Cimino, joined the "Expansion: Scaling Your Concept the Right Way" panel at Restaurant Trends 2026 in Boston to discuss what successful restaurant growth requires, from financing and site selection to maintaining consistency across locations.

These are decisions our multi-unit operator partners face every day, and we're proud to contribute to the conversation. Thank you to Ruberto, Israel & Weiner for bringing the industry together.

One location runs out of lids. Another has a back room full of them. Sound familiar?

Before seasonal orders pick up, check what each restaurant uses, where packaging slows the team down, and whether the same menu items are packed the same way. A little coordination now can spare a lot of game-day scrambling. šŸˆ

An event inquiry is only valuable if thereā€™s a clear process behind it. Who responds? How quickly? What happens once the event is booked?

For multi-unit groups, answering those questions consistently can make private events easier to manage across locations.

As restaurant groups grow, procurement can either create leverage or create friction.

If prime cost is moving the wrong direction, donā€™t start cutting everywhere. Break it apart first.

When food cost is the issue, look at contracted products, approved suppliers, substitutions, and pricing differences across locations. Consolidated Concepts helps multi-unit teams see those patterns and strengthen purchasing where it matters.
