“Under his direction,” according to a news release announcing Weiner’s award, “the Rutter’s Farm Stores chain has embraced the latest foodservice technology to create efficient operations, including induction cook tops and customizable, touch-screen ordering systems. Rutter’s stores are well-oiled machines, working on a cook-and-hold system that allows for speed and efficiency along with freshly finished products. Unique food offerings at the c-store chain include made-to-order stir-fries, ‘pig tails’ and complete comfort-food meals.”
