What is a Chain Restaurant?
A Chain Restaurant is any restaurant with a
"headquarters" (usually in another state). Any restaurant
with more than ten units. Any restaurant with Corporate Regulatory
Structures. Any restaurant on the stock market. Chains are popular
for a reason. They are consistent. They have long hours and good
branding that is easily recognized. But this is the downfall of
great cuisine. I do not blame them for being good business people,
nor am I jealous of their riches. I am proud of them in a business
sense, but they are the downfall of great cuisine. Chain Restaurants
are ones that we know the name: MacDonald's, Wendy's, Applebees,
Chili's, Outback, Village Inn, Denny's, Joes Crabshack, Texas
Roadhouse, IHOP, etc. etc. etc.
