Robby got his start in franchising with Craveworthy Brands’ stir-fry concept, Genghis Grill, where he worked his way up to Director of Operations. A former grocery store manager, Robby’s love of cooking and food service arose from conversations with customers about healthful recipes that he then learned to cook at home. While he would eventually oversee five restaurants across three different brands, Robby is still most frequently seen greeting guests at his beloved Genghis Grill in Tempe, Arizona.
