Alex Camp is the vice president of operations services at Layne's Chicken Fingers, where he serves as the "central nervous system" of the brand's rapidly growing franchise system. After joining Layne's in 2024 as senior director of operations, he brought decades of restaurant and franchising experience to support the company's expansion beyond Texas, overseeing how corporate infrastructure translates into smooth, profitable operations in every restaurant. In his current role, Alex focuses on cross‑departmental collaboration, turning the leadership team's strategic vision into reality for franchisees and ensuring new initiatives—from IT to marketing to construction—actually reach the guest experience on the ground. Known for a service‑first mindset, he sees his job as building feedback pathways between franchisees and the home office so Layne's can protect the brand while helping local owners operate at their best. Cuyler Esposito is the vice president of culture operations at Layne's Chicken Fingers, leading a "culture‑first, operations‑very‑close‑behind" approach as the brand scales nationwide. A former multi‑unit foodservice franchisee, Cuyler joined the Layne's leadership team to be a dedicated voice for franchisees, ensuring the company's small‑town hospitality, high‑touch support, and Texas "Born and Breaded" roots stay at the center of how the system runs. In his role, he focuses on team development, hospitality standards, and values‑driven operations across the franchise network so that every new location reflects the same energy and guest experience that made the original College Station restaurant a legend. For Cuyler, it's not just a job but a lifestyle—he views himself as the liaison between franchise owners and the brand, committed to protecting both while helping operators and their teams get better every day.
