The top May 2016 restaurant branding ideas highlight the ways in which dining concepts are differentiating their offering from competitors.
A new upscale dining experience will be revealed at Walt Disney World in Orlando over Memorial Day Weekend 2016. To be called Tiffins, the new restaurant is located in the Animal Kingdom park and will serve menu items that take inspiration from international cuisine, while staying true to the safari-theme of the park.
Separately, beloved Toronto deli Caplansky’s has announced that it will be taking its popular authentic Jewish fast casual experience national. Tapping the creative team at Jackman Reinvents, the deli will be expanding into a fast casual chain with plans to set up locations across the country. Caplansky’s will debut its new fast casual concept in Toronto's Yorkville neighborhood.
