The tech stack—Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate), Pipedrive, Tableau, and React/Next.js—reflects a business in active transition: migrating toward cloud-native analytics and internal tools while managing legacy franchise systems. Hiring is weighted toward marketing and operations (25 of 54 roles), with active projects spanning digital off-premise acceleration, brand standard compliance tooling, and unit-level operational improvement—all pointing to centralized tech and marketing standardization as core near-term initiatives.
