Five Guys is making some changes.

This week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast A Deeper Dive features Molly Catalano, the chief marketing officer for the Washington, D.C.-based fast-casual burger chain.

We are talking with Catalano about a lot of things, notably its move into catering. We talk about why the company is now offering catering, how it’s doing that and how it works. 

We talk about a number of other things the company is doing. Five Guys is marketing more than it’s ever done before. That’s a big change for the company. It is also looking at things like combos and maybe even some different types of menu items.

Catalano also discusses the company’s unique culture and the important role the chain’s founding family plays in keeping its quality at the forefront.

We’re talking Five Guys on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.
