Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you had to select between one of these three
brands Chipotle, Chick fil A, Shake Shack, and you were
asking your dad or your mom today, let's go out
at Saturday. We want to go eat. Where would you
choose first? And why?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Probably I'd have to go with either Chick fil A
or Shake Shack.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Oh okay, So Chick fil A would be your number one,
in Shakeshack would be number two.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
You're kind of tied. But if I had to place them,
then I'd put Shakeshack and then Chick fil A.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Oh okay. All right, there you have it, guys. We
have a reason now based on menu. Remember this is
why menu matters to your operators out there a lot
of times which I did not know about the waffle fries,
that it's an interesting shape and they believe that it
has a better way to retain the heat.
