The company fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. The references provided are to press releases or corporate filings. The content (while fixable) is highly promotional e.g. "other craveable favorites" ... "freshness and quality" ... "flavourful chicken served hot off the grill". Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:15, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep There are enough reliable sources for this regional chain of 140 restaurants, operating since 1988, to establish notability under both WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. I have added some book sources and copyedited to prune out much of the puffery. More needs to be done, to be sure, but this article which has been with us in various forms since 2006, is worth saving. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:00, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the improvements . With three of the references coming from the corporate website, WP:GNG hinges on the two book references. The books would need to have significant coverage - yet it appears both may be little more than mentions. Do you have access to copies of these books?

 * They are available as Google previews with the urls in the references. Still working on the article, having just added a news citation relating to store closings. I think that suggests there are more references out there. Geoff &#124; Who, me? 18:20, 31 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep Actually, based on this reference it looks like they are an international chain, not regional. I see plenty of RS mentions, albeit many of them are on the recent large-scale closings.PohranicniStraze (talk) 22:48, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. With the improvements made for the article it now clearly passes WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. Excellent work to those working to improve it. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:10, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
