How often is RestaurantChains.net mailed or
e-mailed to me?
As
an online customer you have real-time, anytime access
to RestaurantChains.net, which means you’ll
see updated information as soon as we post it. As
a result of our intensive every four-month re-verification
process we help you stay abreast by emailing weekly
alert reports displaying all the additions, changes
and modifications.
How can I be sure the information in your
directory is current?
Our
researchers call and confirm all 4000 (and counting)
records in RestaurantChains.net at least once during
every four-month period. As a rule, new companies
are added each week, and information is posted online
as soon as we gather it. While we take every precaution
to publish information that is 100% accurate, we cannot
guarantee against occasional factual errors.
What if I want to broaden my sales efforts
beyond multi-concept or multi-unit businesses?
For
companies like yours, we also publish FoodserviceReport.com
– a weekly report of new restaurant, bar, hotel,
country club, and café activity throughout
the U.S. (See our website at www.FoodserviceReport.com)
How does RestaurantChains.net differ from
other directories?
Fresh
data. Most other guides are published once a year
and become stale almost immediately. RestaurantChains.net
delivers information that is verified and updated
at least once every four months. Recently other directories
have been claiming quarterly updates, but they are
in fact updating only a small portion of records and
information every quarter, whereas we update all
records and all their information
every four months. Therein lies a major difference.
Unique
search criteria. Our interactive subscribers benefit
from valuable search tools and filters that are simply
not found in other directories. Unique categories
in our directory include number of seats, square footage,
average check size, average unit volume, system wide
sales, the date on which information was last verified,
and constantly-updated alerts on key additions and
changes to the database.
High-quality
research. Most of our competitors rely primarily on
passive research; they collect data by submitting
forms to restaurants once a year. These forms are
often ignored or filled out inaccurately. At RestaurantChains.net,
our research team collects information by making hundreds
of phone calls each week and personally interviewing
restaurant managers and corporate personnel. We believe
there is no substitute for this kind of comprehensive,
outbound telephone research. (Click
here to learn more about our custom-designed,
proprietary research process.)
How do you come up with
check averages, square footage and average check size
for companies that have multiple concepts, sizes,
and types of operation?
Our
research specialists conduct repeated interviews at
both corporate locations and individual stores, often
calling multiple units within a chain to get information
on seating, meal prices and size of the facility.
We then create an average based on the results of
these interviews, and this is the figure used in our
database.
What is the cost?

here our different offerings including pricing
Instead of purchasing the entire directory,
can I receive a list sorted by specific
criteria?
Yes.
Contact us with your search criteria and we’ll
prepare a customized report from our database. Most
special requests can be turned around quickly and
e-mailed within hours. Pricing will vary, depending
on your specific criteria.
Who can benefit from the RestaurantChains.net?
Anybody
who sells products or services to restaurant chains.
Our clients include providers and manufacturers of
food, equipment and furnishings, distributors, financial
services firms, placement services, consultants and
a number of other companies in foodservice-related
industries.
How do I know when changes and additions are
made to the database?
Subscribers
will find new information in the “Alerts”
field of the database. And the “Preview Alerts”
button will call up a pre-formatted report covering
all newly-uncovered information from the prior four
months. We find new leads almost daily, with an average
of more than 100 alerts added each week. Examples
include company expansions, acquisitions, a change
in personnel or a new address or phone number –
information you need to stay in touch with customers
and prospects. We have also added a “Last Verified
Date” box so subscribers can see how recently
we contacted a company during our re-verification
process.
I want to evaluate
your directory to see how it compares with what I’m
currently using. Can I get a full-featured demo?
Qualified
companies can receive a complete demo by contacting
us directly. If you sell products and services to
restaurants, we invite you to compare the quality
and accuracy of our data versus other sources. We
believe our product quality and innovative research
sets us considerably apart from our competitors and
we’re willing to prove it. Please contact us
at 914-591-4297 to arrange a 10-15 minute, free one
on one personal demonstration..
