Efficiency and Cost Reduction Initiatives
Under Haque's leadership, Tony Roma's has undertaken significant operational changes aimed at enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. Through a comprehensive review of operations, the management team identified and eliminated inefficiencies, leading to a boost in productivity across the company's global operations. One of the key challenges addressed was the high buildout costs, which were as high as $3 million. In response, the company developed a new prototype in 2022, featuring a 30% reduction in development costs, bringing the buildout costs down to approximately $1.7 million.
