As North Carolina s Wing It On expands across the U.S., it is working with Steritech to help ensure it keeps its cleanliness and food safety standards. When the opportunity to partner with an industry leader like Steritech arose, we simply couldn t pass it up, Matt Ensero, co-founder and CEO of Wing It On, said in a company press release. While always in our mission and commitment to our customers, there was a recent study that showed diners are two times more likely to spend money in a clean establishment, frequent more and refer you to friends and family, meaning that cleanliness and safety standards are more important than ever. We look forward to having them as an extension of our team and ensuring only the highest standards as we continue to grow.

After seven straight years of being named to Fast Casual s Top 100 Movers & Shakers, BurgerFi took the No.1 spot on the 2021 list.
The Florida-based brand s continuous innovation and rapid growth impressed all of the judges, said Cherryh Cansler, the editor of FastCasual, who hosted a virtual awards gala Wednesday afternoon to reveal the entire list of winning brands. Steritech President Doug Sutton joined her as co-host. Even with COVID-19 hitting everyone so hard, BurgerFi s leaders didn t didn t shy away from innovation, she said. They added curbside pickup ordering, a new kitchen prototype design with dual assembly lines and its first drive-thru as well as 10 ghost kitchens. They even landed Martha Stewart as a board member and went public. Any of those things alone would have been a huge accomplishment, but to do them all in one year is amazing.
