I can't believe I have done 11 of these so far (my list has the top 50, enough for a year).While some of them do not exist in my area, I have heard about No. 12 - Popeyes.
Their commercials run constantly and they are in virtually every mall food court.
One of the most recent thing I have learned about these places is they actually have an industry all their own called QSR (Quick Serve Restaurants) or QSC (Quick Serve Carts). My SIL and BIL are in the QSC industry, Owner/Operators of Auntie Aunnie's in the North East. I always knew it was a HUGE business but when I read that their domestic sales would make companies like Nike, Whirlpool, and Progress Energy blush, I got a little scared. We really are a nation that lives in their cars.
On to our chosen QSR for the week......
After working the same sales strategy for more than a year, Popeyes is making some tweaks. “We now know what the vital few initiatives are that drive Popeyes results,” says Cheryl Bachelder, CEO of parent company AFC Enterprises. So what are they? The development of more Louisiana-themed products, improving operations by using surveys to verify that staffers hustle, and stepping up expansion.
As I did with the others, I am not showcasing the food that defined what they are today, but the recent alternatives that offer something other then all things battered and fried. I will start with sandwiches and wraps, move on to their "leaux" menu (lighter items) and then their signature sides, all, as usual, rated by Total Carbs.
