Jumpstart Collective’s Post

🌺 We’re bringing #Aloha to your front door with the last Jumpstart Collective CXO Spotlight Series for the year.🎄 In this 3-day Christmas Special Edition, we share our conversation with Kevin Yim, the Vice President of Marketing at FCH Enterprises, Inc., overseeing the marketing strategies for Zippy’s Restaurants in Hawaii and its sister brands. Zippy’s is a beloved chain of fast-casual restaurants in Hawaii, often referred to as "Hawaii's restaurant of choice." Known for its local comfort food and iconic chili 🌶️, Zippy’s has become a cultural institution since its founding in 1966. In the first part of this interview, Kevin gives us a taste of Aloha, Hawaiian culture, and cuisine. Highlights include: ✨ Kevin’s transition from banking and aviation to marketing for Hawaii’s iconic restaurant chain. ✨ The unique culinary history of Hawaii, shaped by immigration from Japan, China, the Philippines, and beyond. ✨ Zippy’s plans for expanding its local comfort food to the United States mainland, starting with Las Vegas.

When you consider the marquee success stories in the restaurant industry today, there is one brand synonymous with true hypergrowth: Dave's Hot Chicken There isn’t just one winning formula for success; however, with 100% sales growth in 2023, 200+ current locations, and a thousand – yes a thousand – more in the pipeline, the Dave’s team seems to have a great one. It’s even more mind-blowing when you consider this all started with three friends and a couple of fryers popping up in an East Hollywood parking lot in 2017 (see photo). This is the type of brand that Olo loves working with. In 2020, when Dave’s was just shy of 80 locations, they faced a broad range of tech stack solutions to choose from. Their ambitious goals drove them towards Olo as a partner to grow with them as they quickly scale. This is our playbook for emerging enterprises: serve their needs today and scale with them as they grow. As emerging enterprise brands tend to be more greenfield opportunities, our success is based on their success. A true win-win. And they’re just getting started. Congrats on your incredible growth Dave’s Hot Chicken. We can’t wait to see what’s next for you, and Olo will be here to support you every step of the way.
