Ben Coley and I asked GoTo Foods CEO Jim Holthouser at QSR Evolution about the story behind the name change (from FOCUS). This was a fun answer. My daughter is 5 and she's already picking up phrases in kindergarten I don't understand. So I get it. Comes at you fast. But the general theme here, as it relates to guests, was GTF decided to "anchor the company around how the customer thought about us."
