“Fresh-casual” delivers on the hottest foodie trends in America – quick, trendy, healthy and of course, delicious. The Group is using their special definition to put the finishing touches on several, soon-to-be-announced, blockbuster restaurant concepts across the US and worldwide.
“We can’t always make time for fresh food, but we also want to eat well,” said Tom Kelley , President, AccessPoint Group. “Our conceptual eateries will offer guests the best of both worlds – food truck style with guest-centric restaurant flair.”
Kelley is a former National Restaurant Association senior staffer and Board member with over 25 years working with, and learning from, hospitality industry icons worldwide.
The Mission Hills-based firm tripled in size just over one year by providing clients a “from scratch” personal touch on culinary reviews, executive chef placement, menu development and labor and food costing.
AccessPoint Group has on its team two accomplished chefs from the Culinary Institute of America, James Bailey and Eric Cares.
Firm Founder, Tom Kelley and his team, bring more than 125 years of top-shelf marketing work ranging from established, iconic brands like PepsiCo and Nabisco, and local favorites like LA’s famed Du-Par’s Restaurants, along with new, emerging entrepreneurs seeking to develop hospitality concepts.
Recent restaurant projects allowed AccessPoint Group to build footholds in California, Colorado, Illinois, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. and Western Canada.
The Group’s expert team completes the 360-degree hospitality experience for each project including branding, marketing, design and interactive ground-up modeling to fit each community and clientele base.
“It goes to show that with the right blend of complimentary disciplines under one roof, clients keep coming back for that depth of experience and ability to look with a fresh perspective at brands and operations,” said James Bailey, Vice President & Principal, Culinary at AccessPoint Group. “We’ve been able to attract top talent and provide our clients with senior counsel because the entire team has been on the front lines of running hospitality operations – while never overlooking the complete guest experience.”
