Heritage Restaurant Brands has appointed Ryan Cavanaugh as Vice President of Information Technology and promoted Rachel Mansell to Controller. This announcement from Heritage, the franchisor of three brands, is directly correlated with the rapid expansion of its Huckleberry’s Breakfast & Lunch franchise. Cavanaugh is equipped with an in-depth knowledge of tech within restaurant operations, with past leadership positions at Round Table Pizza, Olive Garden and Black Angus Steakhouse. Mansell, whose most recent role was with Wells Fargo Advisors, joined Heritage in May of 2022 and was named Controller in 2023.
“Ryan brings high energy and a panoramic approach to digital restaurant infrastructure. He will be an integral part of moving our brands to the forefront of technology in the casual dining space,” stated Chip Anderson, Chief Financial Officer of Heritage Restaurant Brands. “Rachel has already had a huge impact on Heritage, with ongoing contribution to the implementation of systems and processes that support aggressive unit growth. I’m grateful to partner with them both and look forward to the future as we continue striving to provide value to our franchise owners.”
