Iconic Brand’s Leader and Ambassador Also Surprises Coveted Stakeholders With a Peak at the ‘Shoney’s of the Future’
Nashville, TN (RestaurantNews.com) Shoney’s Chairman and CEO David Davoudpour isn’t running from his brand’s 79-year-old past; he is, however, sprinting toward its future. Mr. Davoudpour recently invited his prized franchisees to Shoney’s headquarters in Music City, USA, to forecast how AI will enable them to perform Beyond Expectations through 2030. It was music to their collective ears.
The very important partners (VIPs) were also presented with a forward-thinking architectural blueprint for Shoney’s new-look restaurant, which is expected to serve as the model for all new and existing locations. In all, the owners and operators of the restaurant industry pioneer, world-renowned for its southern hospitality with a twist, were invigorated and inspired by their leader’s message and were encouragingly receptive to how AI can help advance the Shoney’s organization. For the first time, the events from Shoney’s National Franchise Conference are being enthusiastically shared publicly.
Since acquiring the iconic American eatery in 2007, Mr. Davoudpour has been on a driven and spirited mission to reinvigorate Shoney’s, one of the first and most popular family casual dining concepts in the United States. To return to what Mr. Davoudpour confidently calls Shoney’s “Glory Days,” the brand aims to grow through franchising following an extensive revitalization. Shoney’s is offering franchising opportunities to qualified single and multi-unit candidates to ensure even better days ahead for America’s Dinner Table.
