Although it remains profitable, Wendy&#8217;s has faced slowing revenue growth in recent years, and its stock price has slumped nearly 14% over the last 12 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In an August earnings call with Wall Street analysts, Wright said the restaurant chain must improve the quality of its food.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wendy&#8217;s has always been known for quality, fresh, never frozen beef, hamburgers made to order, bacon cooked in our restaurants and fresh produce prepared daily,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But over time, we&#8217;ve drifted away from some of the standards that made Wendy&#8217;s distinctive. While we&#8217;ve maintained core practices in some areas, we&#8217;ve led cost and efficiency drive decisions that weaken that differentiation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wendy&#8217;s has also struggled with operational issues, including staffing, employee training, handling drive-thru orders and marketing, Wright said during the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Wendy&#8217;s <a
