Linda Wolf is the main chef behind Roly Poly Rolled Sandwiches. She first started
rolling sandwiches over 20 years ago at a Tex-Mex restaurant right out of high
school.
While she worked in various positions throughout the restaurant industry - including
owner, manager and chef - Linda kept experimenting with her rolled sandwiches.
In October 1996, she joined with Julie Reid to open the first Roly Poly Rolled
Sandwiches shop in Atlanta, Georgia.
Linda continues to develop recipes for Roly Poly. She maintains a database with
ideas for over 400 sandwiches, many of which show up as specials on the Roly
Poly menu.
Julie Reid has managed and co-owned a variety of restaurants, including The Chart
House in Chester, Connecticut and Lobos Mixed Grille in Key West, Florida.
After working with Linda at a variety of restaurants, Julie joined with her to
open the Roly Poly Rolled Sandwiches shop in Atlanta, Georgia.
Julie manages a variety of operational functions for Roly Poly. She fine-tuned
the efficient Roly Poly restaurant concept, which requires only 800 to 1,000
square feet per location. The only requirements are a sandwich press for toasted
items, a roll-ready countertop and refrigeration units for fresh ingredients.
Jane Ferguson began with Roly Poly in October 1999. She has a background in
finance and accounting and is involved in all aspects of franchise operations
with a focus on food distribution, purchasing and contracts. She is in
daily contact with franchisees regarding the day to day operations of their
stores and is the primary communication link between franchisees and corporate.
Karla Stone began at Roly Poly in March 1998. She assisted during the opening
of the store in Peachtree City, Georgia and worked in the location as a sandwich
roller and cashier. Her three years of experience in the store made her an
expert in Roly Poly processes, and in March 2001 she was promoted to Director
of Training.
Karla travels to all locations throughout the country to make sure employees
are well-trained and that each location adheres to the quality standards set
by Roly Poly.
