"This refresh pays homage to Famous Toastery's humble beginnings and signature offerings that brings in a modern look and feel to appeal to our new and devoted guests alike."

Digital Upgrades for the Guest Experience

Famous Toastery's refresh features a new, tangible experience that revolves around providing an enhanced and friendly guest atmosphere to its dedicated and new diners alike, both in-person and digitally. Famous Toastery's website went through a complete overhaul to provide an unrivaled guest experience. The new website now lends itself to be more shoppable – allowing guests to purchase via their site directly. Each location also now has its own unique page to allow them to highlight their communities as well as local offerings, a key focus for the brand. That digital upgrade works in tandem with a new loyalty program to take the guest-curated experience to the next level. This not only allows the brand to evolve and work with real data, but also shows guest appreciation through a curated rewards program.

"Our guests' experience is at the heart of every decision we make as Famous Toastery continues to grow," said Lorna Martinez, Vice President of Marketing. "The goal of this refresh is to provide every guest with an experience unique to Famous Toastery; whether they walk into one of our restaurants or order online. We pride ourselves in our Famously Fresh offerings and emphasis on hospitality, and wanted to ensure that this refresh built upon those efforts."

Furthering Famous Toastery's refresh on the digital landscape, the new look and feel for the brand also extends to those placing orders through third-party platforms, such as ezCater and DoorDash. With an already booming double-digit third-party business, it was important to emphasize the cross-channel growth as the refresh can be seen mirrored across these channels as well as social media.
