Fast Casual's top execs revealed

This year's Top 25 list turned into the Top 26 after judges couldn't bring themselves to make a final cut.

November 18, 2015 by Cherryh Cansler — Editor, FastCasual.com

There are literally hundreds of executives who are on fire for the fast casual industry, and we set out to recognize 25 in our annual report honoring the year's Fast Causal Top 25 Executives.

We received about 400 nominations from our readers, and a panel of judges, including Networld Media Group editors, sifted through to cut the list to 25. We found the task nearly impossible, especially when it came to making a final cut from 26 to 25. Instead of spending more time debating, we agreed this year's list must include 26 industry stars.

The leaders on this year's list not only work hard to grow their businesses, but they spend time attending industry events and sharing success stories to help other business owners succeed. They are innovative when it comes to marketing and technology and view the customer experience and their employees as top priorities.
