In 2011, the executives at Bertucci's, a 30-year-old restaurant chain in the US Mid-Atlantic and New England regions, faced a big problem: The restaurant had become nearly invisible to younger generations of diners. Partnering with innovation consultancy Continuum, Bertucci's explored the needs and behaviors of Gen Y and Millennials — and then designed an innovative social dining experience supported by a new business model and a fresh relevant brand. The success of its first 2ovens restaurant demonstrates the power of following a structured approach to customer experience innovation.
