Blazing Onion Burger Company climbs to the number 18 spot of our 2014 Top 100: Restaurants.

Since launching the first Blazing Onion Burger Company with his wife, Lorri, in 2007, CEO David Jones has been on the forefront of technology. Each of the brand’s six locations is outfitted with selfservice ordering kiosks to speed up the ordering process, and each also has 3-D televisions, Coca-Cola Freestyle machines and LRS pagers to help staff quickly deliver food to tables. Next up is guest-initiated ordering via iPads, which will be secured to each table at every restaurant by the end of the year. 

Technology aside, Jones’ next goal is franchising; he opened his first franchised location last year and is looking to open three more by the end of 2015. “We are moving slowly to learn how to be a great franchisor,” he said. “We think the slow, careful learning is better in the long run.”
