Buffalo Wild Wings' plan to take itself to the next level

What business people see as cutting-edge restaurant tech

Buffalo Wild Wings is the fastest-growing casual dining restaurant in America.

The chain's sales soared 6% in the third quarter despite widespread troubles in the casual dining sector.

Executives are planning a myriad of changes to get customers to come more often, stay at the restaurant longer, and spend more money.

Buffalo Wild Wings recently shared its plan with UBS for a recent report.

Here's what will be different going forward.

  1. Lots of tablet features
  2. Equipping servers with handheld devices
  3. Loyalty program
  4. "Your Own" audio
  5. Ordering ahead
  6. More sauces and beer
  7. Local events
