Buona
We operate fast-casual Buona restaurants built around our Italian beef sandwiches, along with a menu of sandwiches, pasta, burgers, hot dogs, salads, and desserts. We serve guests in the restaurant, offer delivery, and provide catering for events and group orders. Our restaurants are typically located in free-standing buildings or inline shopping centers, and some locations may include one or two drive-through windows. In some markets, we may also operate a combined Buona and The Original Rainbow Cone location. Our focus is on serving made-to-order food in a casual, high-volume restaurant setting.
