Red Robin Gourmet Burgers’ new flat-top grills make better burgers, improve efficiency and give the chain more menu optionality going forward, CEO and President G.J. Hart tells Bloomberg Intelligence. In this episode of the Choppin’ It Up podcast, Hart sits down with BI’s senior restaurant and foodservice analyst Michael Halen to give an update on the chain’s North Star plan, which includes improved food and operations, fewer discounts and new compensation plans for market partners and single-unit operators. He also comments on marketing spending, sale-leaseback transactions and changes to the loyalty program.
