Brand Summary

Sixteen Hands LLC will reposition Chop5 Salads & Bowls as the premium, clean, and wholesome chopped salad and bowl concept of choice for customers seeking protein-packed, convenient options for lunch and dinner. A unified guest experience is crucial for restaurants because it builds trust, reinforces brand identity, and ensures every touchpoint—from digital interactions to in-person experience—feels seamless, intentional, and memorable. Once a brand refresh is complete, the focus will turn to identifying storytelling opportunities that differentiate, increasing return visits with a compelling loyalty program & messaging, and converting new customers with strategic advertising and attractive offers.  


Key takeaway: Devaluing your product through language & copy

  • Usage of generic words like “fresh”, “healthy”, and “tasty” can strip a product or service of its uniqueness, making it feel less premium, less considered, and ultimately less valuable in the eyes of the customer. Phrasing such as “eat with no regrets” feels dated as diet and health food culture has shifted to acceptance of a wide spectrum of needs and lifestyles.

Key deliverable: Brand Voice Guidelines

  • We will conduct a copy review, identify key terms, and hone in on tone and messaging that resonates with your audiences and is reflective of Chop5’s products and services. Brand voice guidelines will deliver copy and key term usage that differentiates, speaks to the customer, and creates consistency in its brand personality. Brand voice work will apply to all copy across:

    • Email Marketing

    • Loyalty Messaging

    • SMS

    • Web

    • Third party



    Key Takeaway: Inconsistency in key brand assets & visuals

  • Inconsistent use of fonts, font styles, logos and colors across web, email, printed collateral, social, and interior/exterior signage is causing brand confusion.

  • Photography is professional, but not polished nor distinguishable with many looking like stock photos and showing up pixelated online. Social images and videos often show dirty or unorganized stations that give off an unappealing and unappetizing impression.



Key Deliverable: Updated guidelines for Chop5 visual identity

  • Updated and finalized guidelines for brand assets and their applications for easy reference. Design templates will be created for

    • Email Marketing - both one time and automated

    • Physical collateral, in-store signage, mailers and more

    • Web

    • Signage (mounted & window/door vinyls)

    • Menus

  • Establish a photography style that is distinctive, differentiating, and shows Chop5’s products in their best light for use in updating web, Toast and third party delivery sites. Identify a cadence for regular shoots for product and lifestyle photography, including standards for usage around UGC.




Key Takeaway: Discounting as a strategy

  • Promoting offers and discounts that lack clarity and consistency can confuse guests, and erode trust. Relying on discounting as a primary strategy to convert or retain customers trains guests to expect deals and undermines long-term loyalty. Let’s hone in on what works, ditch what’s not, and make sure guests are responding.


    Key Deliverable: Revamped suite of offers

  • We will deliver a revamped suite of customer offers that are both attractive and easy to understand, driving engagement while reinforcing brand value and trust. A schedule and cadence for delivery, tracking, and measurement will also be deployed.



    Key Takeaway: Relying on Comparison

  • Chop5 has adopted language and even direct comparisons to other fast food/fast casual concepts when describing its offerings and services. Restaurants that rely on comparison risk blending in with competitors, missing the opportunity to build a distinct brand that stands out from the competition and resonates authentically with their audience.


    Key Deliverable: Differentiation through storytelling

  • We will identify key differentiators within your mission and develop storytelling opportunities around them in the form of content pillars.

  • Offer Structure/Cadence & Loyalty Program Strategy: 2 weeks
