Together, they developed a new menu around freshness. Next, “wood-fire grilling” was introduced, as research showed it was the most preferred way of cooking seafood. This was a very effective way of repositioning the brand, as it helped to shift perceptions away from the fried foods of the past to the new fresh preparation methods. Furthermore, “grill masters” were introduced, and the position quickly became the most prestigious job in the restaurant. This was also highly effective, as it added a higher quality feel to the food, and served a dual purpose as the centerpiece of the marketing plan in 2011. In addition, a fresh fish menu was provided to consumers, separate from the main menu, which highlighted the daily catch. Finally, select ingredients were upgraded and restaurant locations were remodeled in order to strengthen the perception of top quality and freshness, while appealing to consumers other senses.
