Freddy Lopez has been with DRG Meats for less than a year and already, this ambitious General Manager says he wouldn’t trade his team at the Aliante Parkway Arby’s in Las Vegas for any other.
“They are like a family,” he says. “They are committed, they’re loyal and [they are] great ambassadors.”
Freddy joined us after jumpstarting his career with a couple of other well-known QSR brands first. He says he wanted to work at Arby’s because he was attracted to our commitment to delivering the best tasting, high quality food.
Maybe he’s here because of the Classic Beef ‘n Cheddar, too? He gushes about his favorite menu item: “It’s the Cheddar sauce and the Red Ranch mixed together that makes the sandwich taste fantastic.”
The Sky’s the Limit
Let’s get real, Freddy’s actually here because he sees a viable future and is confident he can grow with DRG. And that’s important! We want to develop people like Freddy to their full potential as we did with Patty Alvarez and Estafania Ortiz, for example. We must be doing something right if our newest hires see the promise of opportunity as they enter the door.
“DRG offers opportunities for growth, learning, and advancements in the organization, and I love that about them,” he says.
”DRG has been one of the best companies I’ve worked for.” -Freddy Lopez, RGM
Beyond professional opportunity, Freddy shares that he’s found a greater purpose in the restaurant scene. One of Arby’s core principles is to make a difference.
For Freddy, this is an easy value to live out. He says, “I find satisfaction in knowing my job has a positive impact on others, whether it’s helping guests, fixing a problem, making a difference in the area, or going and helping other stores out.”
So what would Freddy say to someone considering a role with DRG? “Take the job right away. You have a work-life balance here!”
