descending order of magnitude on the basis of actual, estimated
or projected systemwide food and beverage sales in
the U.S. in the chains' respective latest fiscal years, generally
the year ended or ending nearest Dec. 31, 2008. Chains with
tied results on this or any other Second 100 ranking are
assigned the same numeric rank. The 101-200 ranking range
reflects the Top 200 continuum of sales-based rankings
begun in Nation's Restaurant News' June 29, 2009, Top 100
report; conversely, the 1-100 range of rankings of Second
100 chains in this issue's supplemental tables assessing
growth, sales per unit, numbers of units, etc., reflect the
chains' rankings within the exclusive Second 100 statistical
universe only. Preceding-Year Rank: The same 100 chains are ranked on the
basis of U.S. foodservice sales in their immediately preceding full
fiscal year. Second 100 chains not assigned a Preceding-Year ranking
did not generate sufficient sales in their preceding fiscal year to
rank among the Second 100. Chains assigned a Preceding-Year
rank of No. 100 or less would have held that position in the
Preceding Year among the Top 100 chains, however, Preceding-Year
rankings of the Second 100 chains in this issue's supplemental
tables assessing growth, sales per unit, numbers of units, etc., are
based only on comparisons of the 100 chains included this year in
the Second 100's exclusive statistical set. Chains with tied results
are assigned the same numeric rank. Chain: The brand name of the restaurants, hotels, contract foodservice
systems, retail stores or other entities in a multiunit organization,
as identified by its signs, logotypes and trademarks.
Concept: The type of restaurant or foodservice operation run by
the chain, as defined generically by its food type, service style,
retail context or operating format. Most chain concepts are
self-defining and are categorized on the basis of the Top 100 and
Second 100 studies' traditional categorical parameters. Full-service
concepts other than hotel operations, i.e. casual-dining and
family restaurants, are defined as such and distinguished from
one another on the basis of their generally dissimilar price-point
ranges and by the fact that most casual-dining restaurants have
full bar operations but do not serve breakfast, whereas most
family restaurants do not have bars but do serve breakfast. Parent Company: The business entity that owns a chain's
trademarks and master franchising rights, whether directly or
throughan operating subsidiary, and ultimately profits from
operating and/or franchising or licensing its concept. An asterisk
following a company's name indicates that it is a U.S.-based
entity whose stock is publicly traded; foreign-based
companies not so indicated may be public in their home countries. Fiscal Year-End: The ending date of the year represented in the
Latest-Year column. If a fiscal year's actual ending date occurs in
the first half of a month, the preceding full month is shown as its
fiscal year-end, pursuant to conventional financial-reporting
practices. U.S. Systemwide Foodservice Sales: Foodservice sales at all
domestic restaurants, hotels, stores, contract locations or other
outlets in a chain, including company-owned, company-managed,
franchised and licensed units. Sales from manufacturing, distribution,
merchandise, room revenues, video games, facilities
rentals and other nonfood sources are excluded. Latest, Preceding and Prior: Three consecutive years, the latest
of which ended or ends in the month and year indicated in the
corresponding Fiscal Year-End column.
