Gregg Majewski is a Restaurant Influencer -
As a former C-Suite employee of Jimmy John's sandwich chain, the leader learned that success didn't solely hinge on being at the top spot of your industry, but on providing something unique and perfecting the product.
“We offered something different. We delivered it and we were faster, so we became convenient to everyone. And that allowed us to be the number two sandwich concept.” Majewski said about working as CEO/COO/CFO at Jimmy John’s to Restaurant Influencers host Shawn Walchef (@shawnpwalchef) of Cali BBQ Media.
Craveworthy Brands was founded in 2022 and is guided by a team with significant restaurant experience. Their brands consist of emerging and legacy brands, all with lots of potential for scaling.
The company owns, operates and franchises the emerging concepts: Wing It On!, The Budlong, Krafted Burger Bar + Tap, and Lucky Cat. Craveworthy’s legacy brands include Genghis Grill, BD’s Mongolian Grill, and Flat Top Grill — all formerly part of Mongolian Concepts for which Majewski was CEO.
"It's our job to be as nice and kind to everybody as you want them to be to you," Gregg Majewski says when being interviewed at Restaurant365’s Restaurant Transformation Festival in Austin, TX.
Zack Oates, the CEO of the Ovation restaurant technology platform, said he added Gregg Majewski to the Ovation advisory board because he was impressed with his wealth of knowledge and experience. “He has been an invaluable resource to me…. His experience with growing brands with a focus on the guest experience makes for a world-class advisor.”
Gregg Majewski also founded his own Craveworthy Media company to dive into digital storytelling and the world of content creation.
The CEO understands that publishing a steady stream of video, audio, words, and images on the internet is one of the best ways to grow an engaging brand in the modern era. Publishing a regular video podcast series will also let him share his experience with more people all over the world.
