FULL COMP: The Voice of the Restaurant Industry Revolution

Legacy brands can either fade into the past or evolve to meet the future. Mohaimina Haque is making sure Tony Roma’s does the latter. As a lawyer-turned-CEO, she’s bringing a fresh, analytical approach to a 50-year-old brand, modernizing its operations, embracing AI and robotics, and redefining what a franchise model can be. In this episode, we unpack how she’s steering the company through innovation, why she believes in out-innovating rather than replicating, and how independent restaurant operators can apply these same strategies to scale smarter.
