“Being recognized as one of America’s strongest restaurant brands – in the top 20% of all restaurant chains – is a testament to a promise fulfilled to our guests to offer only the best and freshest handcrafted menu,” said Steve Schulze, co-founder and CEO, Nékter Juice Bar. “I am immensely proud of our team and our franchise partners, without whom we would not be able to celebrate this tremendous recognition from such a credible and reputable industry firm as Technomic. These awards continue to motivate all of us to innovate and exceed expectations.”
Leveraging decades of foodservice expertise, Technomic has published annual chain restaurant reports since 1974.

The restaurant industry leverages this annual report to gain access to performance, rankings and forecasts for the U.S. restaurant industry, providing the insight needed for operators and suppliers to develop sales and marketing strategies, identify growth opportunities and monitor segment and menu category performance.
