Multi-unit Mediterranean restaurant operator with catering and franchise model
Taziki's operates a 1,000+ person restaurant group across dine-in, carry-out, and catering channels. Active hiring across 482 roles with heavy junior staffing (238 hires) signals rapid unit expansion and high-turnover operations typical of QSR — supported by documented focus on employee onboarding, train-the-trainer programs, and structured post-opening handoffs. Pain-point clustering (labor cost goals, staff scheduling, profit margin pressure) reflects the classic unit economics challenge of maintaining margins as volumes scale.
Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe is a privately held restaurant group headquartered in Alabama and founded in 1998. The company operates a Mediterranean casual-dining concept centered on fresh ingredients, signature sauces, and salads, served across company-owned locations and franchised units. The business model spans three revenue streams: dine-in, carry-out, and catering operations (including box lunch production). With 1,001–5,000 employees distributed across multiple locations, the company is actively managing facility expansion (construction projects, facility upgrades) and workforce scaling — evidenced by high volume hiring and formalized onboarding and training infrastructure. The stack is built on standard restaurant operations software (POS, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, ClickUp) and Adobe Creative Suite for marketing and design work.
Active projects include catering order systems, product ordering platforms, employee onboarding programs, post-opening training handoffs, restaurant construction, and staff scheduling optimization — consistent with rapid unit expansion.
Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, POS systems, ClickUp for task management, and Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) for marketing and design work.
