True Food Kitchen CEO Offers Suggestions for Casual-Dining Experience
At a recent tech summit, Christine Barone, CEO of True Food Kitchen, offered insight into the future of her industry, paying special attention to meeting changes that affect how brands should approach customers.

The central corridor of the office is called the ‘Queso Hallway,’ because the ceiling and part of the wall is painted orange to look like oozing melted cheese.”
