Back to the Start

Hello everyone, we’re back after our little week long hiatus.  Unfortunately, our absence was not due solely to the fact that the Giants actually won the Super Bowl; we at River’s Edge suffered a great loss last week, one that has truly shaken us to our core.  Day by day things are getting better and [...]

Game On!

In lieu of our normally scheduled New Franchise Friday, we at River’s Edge Project Management have opted to start preparing for the BIG GAME!  Here’s a great article from Entrepreneur.com on pizza and its ties to football to tide you over for a couple days – http://www.entrepreneur.com/slideshow/222726 May the best team win Sunday!  We’ll see [...]

QSR Menu Options?

With the myriad of legislation being handed down from Washington regarding QSR and Fast Casual menu displays, it can be almost overwhelming for an operator to decipher fact from fiction.  There are a ton of differing viewpoints out there on the validity and/or benefit of such legislation (mine included) but the fact of the matter [...]

Flip a Coin with Papa John’s!

Flip a coin, save the world……or at least call the coin toss right at this Sunday’s Super Bowl XLVI and you could score a free pizza and pop from Papa John’s!  That’s right, as the official Pizza Sponsor of the NFL, Papa John’s is running a pretty unique contest to the masses that flock to [...]

New Franchise Friday: Zoup! Fresh Soup Company

Living in the often blustery cold and damp Midwest, there are some days when I simply can not warm up no matter what.  Grey skies, rain, snow, sleet, slush, and road construction all blend together to make up typically 5 or so months when staying warm and cozy is on top of everyone’s mind here.  [...]

Time to spruce up your restaurant?

Ever thought about remodeling any of your QSR or Fast Casual locations?  Remodeling can be a relatively easy way to attract the eyes of customers and to ensure they are impressed with not only your food, but also your location.  Freelance writer, DeAnn Owens, wrote recently in Pizza Today about some of the pros and [...]

The Burger King is now also The Delivery King?

Ok, as much as I hate to do it – what would a current events blog covering the QSR industry be if it didn’t include at least one post regarding the new and somewhat controversial topic of Burger King home delivery?  Seriously?  We can now order a Whopper meal and have it delivered right to [...]

New Franchise Friday: Umami Ko!!!!

This week’s entry into River’s Edge Project Management’s now world famous New Franchise Friday feature has been dishing up artfully prepared burgers based on the literal science of taste.  No really, these guys are making use of something that many people have likely never even heard of.  Enter, Umami Burger……who?  Never heard of them?  That’s [...]

What your drive thru needs to succeed

What is the one thing that sets a quick-service restaurant apart from almost all other businesses?  The drive thru.  Quite simple in design and function, this rather unique element employed by most QSRs provides a level of convenience for the customer and a level of potential profit boost for the owner not recognized in other [...]

Chik-fil-A: a QSR helping kids make healthy choices

Last week the nation’s largest quick-service chicken concept, Chick-fil-A, announced a revamped kids menu offering perhaps the industry’s healthiest options for little tikes. In a market clouded with lots of trans-fat and fried mystery meat, Chick-fil-A’s new kid’s meal includes applesauce and get this………grilled chicken nuggets! That’s right – a QSR actually offering grilled chicken [...]
