As growth chains continue to look for ways to engage their loyal fans as well as attract a new audience, the executive teams are examining new trends. One thing they have to ask themselves, according to Carl Segal, CEO of Roti Modern Mediterranean: Is this actually a trend, or is it a fad? In other words, before investing both time and money into a potential trend, is it something that’s here and gone, or is it something that’s going to stay?
