Tahoe Miller Group, Inc. (Operating as Fat Brand) is a leading, global, multi-brand, restaurant franchising company that strategically develops, markets, and acquires restaurant concepts worldwide. We currently own the Fatburger, Buffalo’s Cafe, Buffalo’s Express, Hurricane Grill & Wings, Yalla Mediterranean, Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouse, and Elevation Burger brands, and franchise over 380 units worldwide.
Under under Rahul Kunwar and Jesse Arora‘s leadership Tahoe Miller Group and Fat Burger will use Cloud Kitchens technology. There are many names for these kitchens — commissary, virtual, dark, cloud, or ghost kitchens — but the idea is that restaurateurs can rent out space in them to prepare food that can be delivered through platforms like DoorDash or, yes, UberEats, which was launched during Kalanick’s time at the company. Kalanick was CEO of Uber until 2017, and in December sold 90% of his stock in the company before saying he would leave the company’s board. Commissary kitchens are “essentially WeWork for restaurant kitchens,” as TechCrunch’s Danny Crichton wrote. These “smart kitchens,” as they’re called on the CloudKitchens website, can come with everything a restaurant or chef needs, like sinks, WiFi, and electricity.
In addition to the above-mentioned services, we will be operating a virtual kitchen. A virtual kitchen are commercial kitchens without a restaurant attached. So, there is no seating, tables or need to be anywhere near foot traffic. They can operate as independent businesses or under the name of an established food brand like Fat Brand. To make this process accessible to our clients, we are already opening four restaurants in San Francisco and another four in San Jose. Looking forward, we are planning to open more than 18 virtual kitchens in Sacramento in the next 18-24 months. These dark kitchens operate only to serve online food orders, through Fat Brand customized brand app that match cloud kitchen and another ghost kitchen concept POS & UI’s.
Los Angeles in 1952 was a city of dreamers. The fabulous fifties were underway and the air was ripe with opportunity. The city was growing, and its people had to eat. Lovie Yancey, a woman of vision and uncommon character, had her own extraordinary dream – to make the world’s greatest hamburgers. So, with a little luck and a lot of personality, she created something unique – the thickest, juiciest hamburgers anyone had ever seen. She decided right then that there could only be one name for them – Fatburger’s – because it perfectly described their massive size.
Johnny Rockets was founded in 1986 with its first location on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles and became famous for its 1950s diner-style decor, burgers and ice cream shakes. Fat Brands’ Chief Executive Officer Andy Wiederhorn said the company expects to modernize Johnny Rocket’s menu, which already has a black bean burger, by adding plant-based options and vegan milkshakes. The deal is expected to be completed in September, and following the acquisition, Fat Brands will have more than 700 franchised and company-owned restaurants. See more info on Fat Burger.
