Frank Walsh has been appointed director of unit level field operations for East Coast Wings & Grill, according to a company announcement. Walsh will analyze unit-level procedures for inefficiencies and assist franchisees in maximizing their profits.

"Frank’s appointment is part of our effort to strategically move talent into roles that will enhance the brand’s ability to service our franchisees and drive the bottom line," CEO Sam Ballas said in the announcement. “Frank has shown an impeccable knack for streamlining our already tight unit-level operations and procedures.
