BrandKairos Mediterranean, A build-your-own, fast casual, Mediterranean inspired restaurant that helps their customers to live a healthy lifestyle and keep "moving forward" in their everyday endeavors through fresh food, prepared in-house daily.

 

Audience: There are many different personas who frequent Kairos. The health nut, looking to eat a clean, well balanced Mediterranean diet, the family, who wants a filling yet healthy meal for even their pickiest eater, and the local, who visits every week and has an appreciation for the music over the speaker, the food in their belly, and the employee who made it.

 

What challenge are they helping their audience overcome? How are they doing it?: I think Kairos encourages their customers to make a change in their lifestyle, and not necessarily a health/diet related change, but specifically a mentality change. Kairos has high expectations, and shows their customers that it's okay to have them too, through serving food that's local, fresh, prepared by hand every single day, and by upholding company promises of comfort, efficiency, cleanliness and cleanliness. They also encourage unique interactions between employees and customers, making for a more personalized dining experience.
