The quick-service industry is one that thrives on innovation. After all, who do you think invented Ronald McDonald, the drive thru, and the Fourthmeal?
In an industry crowded by competition, however, there are a few thought leaders that stand out above the rest. QSR magazine, the leading news source covering the quick-service industry, chose the top 10 innovators in the $164.8 billion restaurant segment and covered them in its May 2010 issue, available now to qualified subscribers.
"There's really no better way to describe the people who made QSR's top innovator's list than to say simply they are the people who matter most in quick service," says Blair Chancey, QSR's editor. "It was thrilling pulling together the list because these are the A-list celebrities of our restaurant segment and arguably the restaurant industry as a whole."
The 2010 Top 10 Innovators are:
Cheryl Bachelder, CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen
David Novak, CEO of Yum! Brands
