HungerRush, a leading provider of restaurant technology solutions, today announced that Bill Mitchell, current Executive Chairman of the Board of HungerRush, has been appointed to the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective today.
Mitchell brings more than 30 years of executive leadership experience across the restaurant, hospitality, and enterprise software sectors, having served as President of Global Operations at Papa John’s, President of Dunkin’ Brands International, and CEO of Cicis Pizza. He is a familiar and trusted leader within HungerRush, playing an important role in the Company’s success in recent years. His appointment represents a seamless continuation of HungerRush’s mission and priorities and positions the Company for continued momentum.
Mitchell succeeds Mike Jerich, who will be assuming a new role with another company in a different sector. Jerich is staying on in an advisory capacity to support Bill and the Board of Directors.
“I am honored to have the privilege to step into the CEO seat at HungerRush at a momentous time for the Company,” said Mitchell. “I know firsthand the role that technology can play in helping independent and multi-unit restaurants solve challenges and better serve customers, so I am truly passionate about helping HungerRush succeed in order to help our customers succeed. I look forward to continuing to partner with our stellar teams to execute on our strategy and build on our strong momentum as we maintain our focus on delivering innovative and reliable technology to empower customers to run smarter, more efficient restaurants.”
“Bill’s appointment as CEO is a natural extension of the transformative role he has played at HungerRush since first joining the Board in 2023,” said Daniel Eckert, Lead Director of the HungerRush Board of Directors. “He has been instrumental in helping to hone our strategic framework, assembling and guiding a tremendous leadership team, and building a customer-focused culture in which we take pride. Our Board is confident that Bill is the right leader to build on our progress as a service-first restaurant technology company that works hard every day to help customers grow their business and better serve their guests.”
“HungerRush, our teams, and our customers are in terrific hands with Bill, who has been a key partner to me during my tenure,” said Jerich. “He brings a deep focus on customer relationships, an emphasis on operational excellence, and a passion for helping restaurant owners succeed, and I am confident in his ability to achieve the greatness of our brand.”
Under Mitchell’s leadership, HungerRush will continue to execute on its core objectives to help restaurants of all sizes and cuisines prosper by delivering great experiences for their customers and employees.
