Another Great Wolf Lodge Joins the Pack—With a Little Help from the Synergy Team
Newport Beach, Calif. (PRWEB) March 29, 2016 -- Synergy Restaurant Consultants was retained in 2014 by Great Wolf Lodge, a nine-unit, family-oriented hotel brand with extensive indoor/outdoor waterpark facilities. According to founder Dean Small, the company was brought in to help identify opportunities to enhance onsite foodservice for the guest, and to optimize back-of-house operations.
Synergy undertook a series of initiatives aimed at elevating all Great Wolf Lodge dining offerings. This included a complete Operations Assessment, a review of food quality and consistency at each property’s 7-8 dining outlets, and a refresh/rebranding of several internal concepts, including the Hungry as a Wolf pizza concept. In addition, Synergy created a new signature brand called Lodge Wood Fired Grill, serving premium wood fired steaks, fresh seafood, lodge smoked ribs, unique family shareables, and fresh salads and vegetables, in addition to kid-friendly menu items.
The new dining program will be on display when the newest Great Wolf Lodge opens in Garden Grove, Calif., later this month, a 600-suite showplace complete with seven food and beverage outlets and four pools, 14 water slides, a four-story treehouse water fort and more than 100,000 sq. ft. of indoor water park activities.
“The food-and-beverage enhancements at all of Great Wolf’s properties have reinvigorated the guest dining experience,” says Small. “In the process, Great Wolf has strengthened its brand equity and is enjoying improved guest satisfaction scores.”
