The Consumers’ Choice for Best Restaurant Chains

February 26, 2016

Revered research and consulting firm, Technomic, recently announced the results from their 2016 Chain Restaurant’s Consumers’ Choice Awards. We love reviewing these types of recognition so we can better understand what customers truly want when it comes to their dining options.

What exactly are the criteria that each restaurant is judged on? The four factors include food quality, intent to return, sustainability and whether the restaurant provides value through service. So who made the cut? We are so proud to discover that two of our clients were awarded -- Firehouse Subs and Seasons 52 both won for the fast casual and full service categories, respectively.

Additionally, Papa Murphy’s Take ‘N’ Bake, Bonefish Grill, In-N-Out and Ben & Jerry’s took the cake as well. For the full list of winners, click here.
