How to use the Restaurantchains.net
Directory
The way to start after logging in and coming to the
selection criteria page is to look at the selection
tree. Highlighted in blue you are seeing our 19
general categories. Once you click on
each category, you will see the options for field
selection. In most categories, the more items you
choose, the narrower your outputted list will be.
If you choose nothing in any of the general categories
then you will receive every record that has those
field categories. See Glossary
of terms
After viewing and choosing your criteria, click the
DONE buttons on either the top or bottom of the page.

The GRID
Towards the bottom of the Selected Records page you
will see what appears to be a grid of your look-up.
The grid is an extra method we provide allowing you
to see a different view of the same data outputted
above. There you can see at a glance (one record at
a time) your look-up and some of the more important
fields for quick sorting and viewing. By clicking
on the headings, you can quickly sort your look-up
in A-Z order. If you click on the red VIEW
buttons to the left of each record, you can see the
entire company record.
