GPS Hospitality, one the nation's largest franchisees of Burger King, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, and Pizza Hut, has promoted Daniel Lee to vice president of financial planning and analysis.

Lee initially joined GPS Hospitality in 2017 as manager, financial planning and analysis, strategy, in which he provided thought leadership and finance/analytic support by leading the Annual Operating Planning process, business performance reporting and forecasting and long-range plans, according to a press release.

"Daniel has brought a creative and innovative focus to our planning and analysis team since joining GPS," Scott Jasinski, CFO of GPS Hospitality, said in the release. "His ability to create analyses that make it easy for all levels within the organization to understand and apply to our business has been invaluable. He has built a FP and A team of highly skilled and trained analysts who collectively share in the GPS vision to provide outstanding service to our restaurants."

With over a decade of senior financial planning and analysis experience, Lee's first foray into the QSR industry began with his role as finance manager/financial analyst at Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in 2015. Since joining GPS Hospitality in 2017, Lee was inducted into the Partner Program in 2018 and was nominated into the company's L.E.A.D. program as an inaugural member of its one-year extensive Leadership Development Program. In his role, Lee will continue to work with the executive team in strategy development to drive growth and revenue.

"I'm grateful for the opportunities GPS has given me in the past four years," Lee said in the release. "Scott and the entire GPS Hospitality leadership team have been incredibly supportive, and I am appreciative of the trust and mentorship that has been offered to me. I look forward to leading our team of talented FP and A analysts as we continue to strive toward our journey to $1 billion in sales."
