Virtual Dining Concepts recently announced that the virtual restaurant, Man vs Fries, will now be offered through California Pizza Kitchen.
As Virtual Dining Concepts' explains, the Man vs Fries offerings will now be available from 118 California Pizza Kitchen restaurant locations. This will not only allow CPK to expand its delivery footprint, but also to diversify its offerings. The virtual brand has already been shown to drive weekly sales of up to $6,000 per location, so there are high hopes for expanded revenue opportunities. As Michael Beacham, President of California Pizza Kitchen, explains, "Man vs Fries is a fantastic brand with a strong following and fits seamlessly into our kitchen. We’re thrilled to partner with VDC to unlock new delivery customers and open the door to further collaborations between our brands."
