About Paul Fabre
I help food brands scale ideas into repeatable, commercial systems. My background spans 20+ years of product, operations, and growth across QSR, casual, and fine dining — from Subway and Papa John\'s to Outback Steakhouse and Trader Vic\'s.My work lives at the intersection of food strategy, kitchen reality, and economics. I take concepts from early thinking through in-market execution, strip out complexity, and design platforms teams can run every day. At Subway, I\'ve led the global culinary innovation function, driving menu strategy and product development.I partner closely with operators and franchisees, stay grounded in how restaurants actually work, and push for speed without losing discipline. I build high-performing teams, set clear standards, and focus on outcomes that show up in the P&L.Core strengths: Menu Development, Culinary R&D, Product Innovation, Menu & Food Strategy, QSR Operations, Global Franchise Systems, Team Leadership.Open to connecting with fellow food industry leaders, operators, and anyone passionate about building brands through great food. Feel free to reach out.
