Case Studies

Sonny Tillman founded his first restaurant in Gainesville, FL in 1968, when the world was a very different place. Long before smartphones and online ordering, Tillman and his wife, Lucille, dreamed of “serving slow-cooked, all-you-can-eat BBQ with a generous helping of Southern hospitality”. Now 96 locations strong (and growing), Sonny’s BBQ, spans eight Southeastern states and is one of the country’s largest barbecue chains.

The tasty “fuel” includes coffee sourced from around the world along with their own unique infused blends. Aroma Joe’s owners, franchisees and baristas also pride themselves on energizing customers with personal, social and positive experience. That focus is embodied in the company’s three “Laws of Service” – No intercoms. No mistakes. No attitudes.
