Excerpt
“The prototype location ‘Restaurant of the Future’ modularity is key,” said Marisa Carona, Wingstop’s chief growth officer, in an interview at the locations. “We seek to be agile. We can shift components, add new equipment, testing platforms and products in a very quick, flexible fashion.”
Covering about 1,300 square feet and offering no tables (but three bench-style seats for waiting) , the delivery/carryout location also is testing a new kitchen display system, or KDS, that was imported after use in some of its United Kingdom units, Carona said. Typical Wingstop locations cover about 1,700 square feet.
