FOX Business: MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes CEO, Anand Gala Says COVID-19 Will Make Restaurants Stronger

COVID-19 cases have continued to rise as states have lifted their stay at home orders and restaurants and businesses have begun to reopen. In a recent interview on FOX Business, MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes CEO Anand Gala addresses how the fast casual franchise is handling these rapid and unpredictable changes to the restaurant industry.

Gala credits the active steps the company took early on to educate its Franchise Owners and establish protocols to best serve their Guests — steps like establishing digital platforms and protocols to help franchisees grow their sales and take care of their employees. “If they’re not safe we don’t have a business that can run,” Gala told FOX Business.

“The restaurant industry is one of the most resilient, and those who have been through multiple cycles have built up a lot of muscle memory on resiliency,” Gala added. “Our focus is really helping our franchisee stay open, stay operating, stay profitable, and as we get through this, I think those businesses will be substantially stronger coming out the other end.”

MOOYAH Burgers, Fries & Shakes dining-in guidelines include wearing a face mask, social distancing in the assembly line, sanitizing stations throughout the restaurant, deep cleaning locations regularly and applying six foot floor markings for Guests.
