Wienerschnitzel has promoted longtime company executive Rusty Bills to chief operating officer of parent group Galardi Group Inc., according to a press release.

Bills will work with president and CEO J.R. Galardi, the company's former COO, to implement advancements in technology that will adapt the group's three brands – Wienerschnitzel, Tastee Freez and Hamburger Stand. As COO, Bills will spearhead cost savings, store-level technology advancements and streamline operational efficiencies across each brand.

Bills brings 15 years of experience with Galardi Group Inc. to the COO position, which was last held by now-President Galardi, who was elevated to his current role in February of this year.

"Being named COO to help guide the same brands I have dedicated my career to for the last 15 years is an immense honor, and it's proof that this company, which continues to be celebrated for its longevity and history, invests in those loyal to the organization," Bills said in the press release. "It's such an exciting time at Galardi Group, especially as J.R. and the leadership team have put the right systems and people in place to position our three concepts for major growth domestically and abroad. Today, I'm more energized than ever for what's ahead and for the future of Galardi Group because I truly believe there are no limits to what this tremendous organization can accomplish."

Bills has held several positions with Galardi Group.

Wienerschnitzel operates 350 franchised locations throughout 10 states.
