The parent company of Genghis Grill, FlatTop Grill and bd’s Mongolian Grill has named Gregg Majewski, a former leader of Jimmy John’s, as its new CEO.

“I’m eager to invest and upgrade each brand–not only by refreshing the ingredients we use but also by building a championship team,” Majewski said in a statement.

Mongolian Concepts’ three brands extend collectively to 75 locations. Each chain specializes in Mongolian barbecue—fresh ingredients selected by a customer and handed to a cook for preparation on a big flattop grill as the patron watches

Majewski’s restaurant experience includes a long run at Jimmy John’s, a sandwich chain that claimed delivery as a key point of differentiation before off-premise business soared for the whole industry in recent years. He served the brand, now a part of Inspire Brands, as COO, CFO and CEO.
