Wendy’s a place I eat when my mom had a long day or just doesn't want to cook. It takes little to no time at all to get your food. Wendy’s is an international fast food chain that started in Columbus Ohio in 1969. I grew up eating Wendy’s one of my cheap favorites. Wendy’s gets hungry customers from ads and billboards all over.

On Feb 17, 1993 Kent Taylor started the first Texas Roadhouse (TXRH) in Clarksville, Indiana. Kent’s aim was to own not merely a steak restaurant or family restaurant, however a place where everybody, of all ages, could come and possess an excellent meal at excellent cost. TXRH is well known for their Hand-Cut Steaks, Fall Off-The-Bone Ribs, Made-From Scratch Sides, and Fresh-Baked Bread. And in case you would like an Ice-Cold Beer or Margarita to wash it all down, they have those also. Their mission statement is, “Legendary Food, Legendary Service® — all with lots of Legendary Fun!” (Texas Roadhouse)

Throughout all of human history, mankind has searched for the ultimate food. To our enjoyment, in 1950, the world was given the answer: Whataburger. Whataburger has taken the hearts of Americans by storm by by serving classic southern style burgers, fries, and shakes. Despite it’s humble beginnings in Corpus Christi, the franchise now boasts over 750 locations and has even secured the 2016 title of “Best Burger in America”. In an effort to understand why this small burger chain became so successful evaluating this legendary business in three different aspects: price, quality, and customer service.

Sipping on iced-cold sweet tea, I watch multiple waiters gather up and begin line dancing to loud country music that plays in the background. By the time im almost halfway through with my beverage and almost full due to the warm, freshly baked rolls, a smiling waitress brings my family our food. She kindly places down our meal, tells us to enjoy and leaves to let us chow down. Resting on the plate in front of me is a thick, juicy piece of rib eye steak thats paired with loaded mashed potatoes and freshly cooked vegetables. Texas Roadhouse has come to be one of my favorite restaurantst to dine at. They provide excellent food complimented by great service and the unique atmosphere of the restaurant is full of energy and always has some type of entertainment going on.

Dave & Buster’s has a came a long way in becoming one of the best in the restaurant industry. The idea of Dave & Buster’s was created in the late 70’s by David O. Corriveau and James W. “Buster” Corley. The two had separate establishments in Little Rock, Arkansas. Dave ran a place filled with games as Buster owned a restaurant filled with eclectic food. The two neighbors noticed the success of each other’s business and decided to combined the two. In December 1982, the first Dave & Buster’s was opened in Dallas, Texas. Today

When it comes to dining-in at a restaurant we all want the best service that we can get. When I think of “the best service” I think about the cleanliness, nice waitresses, good food, and affordable prices. There are so many different options when a family thinks about going out to eat, especially if they have small children. It’s often hard to go to a nice dine-in restaurant because sometimes it’s hard to find something on the menu for everyone in the family. I have experienced many things at two completely different restaurants. I can say Demos’ is better than Logan’s because the food and service is much better.

There was a Burger King where Rosie’s is today, that was a Burger King, you could go to the drive through and get a sandwich.

The first Texas Roadhouse began on February 17, 1993, in Clarksville, Indiana by Kent Taylor, whose goal was to own more than a family restaurant or steakhouse, but to own, a place where everyone could come together share a great meal with great fun for a great price (Stokes). They are known for their legendary food such as hand-cut steaks, fall-off-the-bone ribs, made from-scratch sides, and fresh-baked bread (Our Story). They strive to make hearty meals that stand out by handcrafting everything they serve except for the T-bone steak and by giving larger portions so you get more food for your dollar (Stokes). Kent’s mission also includes having legendary service due to the low ratio of tables per server and legendary fun, which may consist of the servers singing happy birthday to a customer or periodically line dancing - not all locations have line dancers - to the jukebox and televisions playing. Their future strategy is to continue their legendary quality and service along with moderate growth as they are set for opening new locations in 2018, while keeping their 2016 Voted #1 Steak by Nation’s Restaurant News Consumer Picks for this 2017 year (Stokes).

Initially, the restaurant had only four sandwiches where the star was the grilled cheese steak. Along with the subs, fresh-cut french fries, and hand-squeezed lemonade were served. The food was prepared on order, directly in front of the customers using the finest meats and the freshest ingredients. The concept of on-order freshly prepared food quickly became a hit.

My favorite restaurant is called Shake Shack in Chestnut hill. They have the best burgers

Chick-Fil-A is a fast food restaurant that I love it got wide variety of foods including breakfast in the mornings, grilled chicken, and more healthier options. The drinks always have free refills It also is very child friendly has most restaurants where they even have a play land for the kids and have kids meals. The restaurant is always clean inside and the wait for all foods are less than 15-20 minutes. The employees look very clean they always have ironed clothes and is always wearing their full uniform. When I went to order I ordered a regular chicken sandwich meal with fries and a milk shake. The person who take my ordered smiled and was very polite, I have had always good service at Chick-Fil-A. When I got my food

(1) Wendy’s was able to achieve its initial success and grow so rapidly at a time when the quick service hamburger business appeared to be saturated because Wendy’s chose a strategic plan of targeting a different segment of the hamburger market, young adults and adults. Dave Thomas’s idea of an “old fashioned” hamburger allowed Wendy’s to differentiate from the competitors. The hamburger itself is made from fresh beef that is cooked to order and served directly from the grill to the customer. It is done this way to allow the customer to see what they are ordering. Allowing customers the opportunity to see the cooking process gains a certain level of comfort between the customer and the restaurant. “Old fashioned” hamburgers are square in

McDonald’s began as a barbeque, and the brothers strictly offered burgers, fries, and pop. Ray Kroc heard about McDonald’s one day and went to visit the restaurant. Kroc was surprised by their efficiency and the quality of the food. Kroc liked the fact that the brothers could focus on the quality of food, due to the limited menu items. Subsequently Kroc realized their success could amount to much more and shared his vision. Kroc told the McDonald brothers that McDonald’s could be a national business serving people across the country. (At this point, Kroc did not even think about being international). Dick and Mac were thrilled with what they heard, so in 1955 Kroc founded the McDonald’s Corporation and opened the first McDonald’s in Des Plaines, Illinois. By 1960 Kroc had bought exclusive rights to McDonald’s. In 1961, Kroc developed Hamburger University where new employees were trained on how to run a successful McDonald's. Kroc wanted to develop the most efficient methods to store, cook, and sell food, so he had a laboratory built at Hamburger University where students' test different ways to make McDonald's more productive. Hamburger University is still in use today in the search for ways to better McDonald’s. McDonald’s had their first sit-down restaurant in 1962, and then in 1975, McDonald’s had opened their first drive-thru restaurant in Arizona. The first drive-thru restaurant was

This organization began in 1940, by the brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald, in San Bernardino California. McDonald Corporation today dates its founding to the opening of a franchise restaurant by Ray Kroc, in Des Plaines Illinois, in 1955. The system of “speedy service System” in 1948 established the principals of modern fast – food restaurant.

With the number of burger restaurants growing at 10 times the average rate from 2008-2013, the market has become vast. That being said, because Shake Shack has established itself as a power player in the market, the chain doesn’t have to worry about stealing market share from the fast food chains. The pull of a better dining experience, higher quality, offering beer/wine, and while still maintaining prices similar to the fast food chains, Shack Shake has been able to grow not only in the investing field, but also expanding their customer base. Due to the success of the “boutique burger shops” fast food chains are scrambling to compete, with Carl’s Jr. coming out with antibiotic free burgers, and McDonald’s trying create a premium menu with higher quality
