Simple, Fresh & Fast Casual

Island Thyme restaurants are designed with a simple cost effective layout that works with locations from 1,200 to 1,500 square feet. It only takes 3 to 4 team members to run a shift and provide great food and customer service. A team of 8 to 10 people would fully staff your location.

Freshly prepared ingredients make the difference! Our menu has been engineered to cross utilize ingredients and reduce excess waste and inventory. This gives us a menu with broad appeal while making it easy to manage. Meals are prepared to order and served fast at the peak of freshness.
