Chili’s
We operate Chili’s Grill & Bar restaurants, a full-service casual dining concept built around a broad menu and a full-service bar. Our menu includes freshly prepared appetizers, chicken, beef and seafood entrées, hamburgers and sandwiches, salads, barbecue ribs, fajitas, flatbreads and desserts, with an emphasis on substantial portions, high-quality food and modest prices. Chili’s locations are typically free-standing restaurants in metropolitan areas and suburbs, often near office buildings, shopping centers and other high-traffic areas. Restaurants are generally open 12 to 14 hours a day, seven days a week, serving lunch, dinner and late-night meals with quick, efficient table service. We run each restaurant under a standardized operating system that covers recipes, décor, procedures, inventory control, training and advertising to keep the experience consistent.
