“We’re making a shift from fast food to fast-casual,” Habiger said.
Unlimited Fries
The 6,500-square-foot restaurant also features self-serve kiosks, customizable burgers and sandwiches, a dessert bar with waffle cones and bowls, and armchairs and couches for hanging out, according to the Kansas City Star.
All-you-can-eat-fries should be available for the first few months – fries crossed.
