Hops Burger Bar

What Hops Burger Bar does

Hops Burger Bar is a privately held, locally owned casual dining restaurant brand operating two dine-in and take-out locations in Greensboro, North Carolina (Lawndale Drive and Spring Garden Street). Its offering centers on a proprietary "superior blend" of Angus Beef burgers, a craft beer selection, and locally grown ingredients, framed as a "salt of the earth" restaurant concept. The menu includes rotating weekly featured burgers, such as the Blackberry Goat with fried goat cheese fritter and applewood bacon, supporting ongoing menu novelty and repeat visits.

The business makes money through three revenue streams: dine-in restaurant sales during operating hours (11am-10pm Sun-Thu, 11am-11pm Fri-Sat), take-out orders placed by phone at each location or online through the ChowNow third-party ordering platform, and gift card sales valid at either location. No public menu pricing is disclosed on the company website. Marketing is driven by a content-oriented WordPress website featuring weekly burger highlights, plus the ChowNow marketplace listing; the brand uses a direct-to-consumer go-to-consumer motion with no enterprise or contract-based customer segments.

The technology footprint is intentionally lightweight: a WordPress website with location, hours, menu imagery, and a customer feedback form, plus a ChowNow integration for digital take-out. There is no proprietary app, no disclosed API or SDK, no AI/ML capabilities, and no public-facing data assets. Ownership, cap table, founders, and headcount are not disclosed in the source data, and there is no evidence of institutional investment, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond Greensboro, NC.
