## Story

Consumer demand for quality, convenience and customization is only growing, and Modern Market Eatery, the fast-casual concept with a chef-inspired menu, is meeting this demand with an innovative model that doesn’t sacrifice value, flavor, quality or speed. This approach has supported its 32 restaurants in becoming staples in their markets and positioned the brand to continue winning with guests nationwide.

“Modern Market Eatery offers clean ingredients, food with integrity and chef-inspired menu items, and we do all of that with very fast service,” said Chris Cheek, Chief Development Officer. “I don’t think anyone offers the level of quality we do with such fast ticket times, and the innovation of the menu only makes us that much more attractive to the guests. We span four categories — pizzas, sandwiches, salads and bowls — which is really important. I feel we are best-in-class in each of those categories.

Cheek explains that this approach to the menu, continuing to innovate and place quality at the forefront, leads to a final product that many consumers would happily pay $25 — or more — per plate for at a white tablecloth restaurant. At Modern Market Eatery, they enjoy all the best parts of a quality dining experience in an even more accessible way.

While Modern Market Eatery’s fresh menu is often what draws guests in, the brand continues to win over repeat business with the details of each dining experience. While the business is very technology-forward, it does not sacrifice the human experience.

“We have developed the technological aspects of the business, but we’re not going away from human interaction,” Cheek said. “We’re not going to send you away with a buzzer or yell your name out for you to get your food from the counter. When our team members bring food to a table, that’s their opportunity to add that personal touch and go the extra mile.” This “personal touch” can involve special touches like refilling a beverage, bringing a child a complimentary dessert or offering a small sample of a new menu item.

Modern Market Eatery’s convenience and speed solidify its status as a go-to for consumers. While fresh, affordable meals with friendly service are often sought after, they aren’t always practical options for day-to-day dining. Modern Market Eatery removes this final hurdle.

“We have a team of people collaborating in the kitchen to bring all of the components together,” Cheek said. “We have a strong commitment to training to ensure even employees who don’t have prior restaurant experience can excel in their roles. This way, whether a guest is dining in, picking up or ordering in our drive-thru, our team members understand the process necessary to deliver the unique Modern Market Eatery experience every single time.”

By meeting the needs and expectations of today’s diners by delivering wholesome, delicious meals with quick, friendly service, Modern Market Eatery has established itself as a leader in the fast-casual dining space, proving it’s possible to enjoy a meal without sacrificing flavor, convenience or affordability.
