Have you ever wondered why food at your favorite local neighborhood restaurant tastes better than a chain? Researchers say, “Since independent restaurants function on a relatively small scale they have the advantage of receiving the full attention of ownership.”
This means local restaurants often have an easier time developing and maintaining a distinct culture, as well as providing a quality experience, primarily because their founders and owners are physically present in and engaged with the restaurant on a day-to-day basis.
The people that are behind the brand—the people who are setting the culture, the people that are making the food and greeting guests and ensuring the experience—they’re on site with regularity.
Having just one or two locations also allows an owner to make many of their items from scratch
each day. If you owned 20 restaurants, you couldn’t make items from scratch, because they would not taste the same since it’s not made by one person who knows exactly what it tastes like.
Research also indicates the food made by local restaurants contains more nutritional value than
national chains, since most of the ingredients are bought fresh daily from local farms and markets.
So, if you’re looking for a great meal out this month, look no further. You won’t be disappointed when you dine at any of these local restaurants.
