Recipe (Formerly CARA Operations) Locks in Restaurant Leadership with Technology

FranchiseBlast’s Brand Consistency solution was selected by Recipe to help them reinforce their #1 position as Canada’s largest full-service restaurant company. Recipe both franchises and operates restaurant brands including Harvey’s, Swiss Chalet, Kelsey’s, East Side Mario’s, Montana’s, Milestones, Prime Pubs, Casey’s, Bier Markt, and Landing restaurants.

The Gatineau-based technology firm helps franchisors create consistent operations on their audits, where a coach runs a high-tech checklist of compliance items such as food safety, quality, service and more. It offers immediate, actionable insights for both franchisors and franchisees, and even creates leaderboards so brands can celebrate their operational superstars.

“I see a quiet but meaningful revolution taking place in the restaurant industry.” says Jason Kealey, President of FranchiseBlast. “Good is no longer sufficient. Operational excellence is key to winning and retaining today’s customer; even leading restaurant brands are looking for that competitive edge with brand consistency – that is what our software is all about.”

The versatility of FranchiseBlast’s solution has helped it find success in the restaurant industry. Working with Canada’s iconic restaurant brand aggregator strengthens their position globally.

“Franchising is undergoing a major transformation right now,” said Kealey. “Franchisors are focusing on unit-level economics, both top and bottom line, to help units grow.”
