freshness
Whether you supply local restaurants with fruits, vegetables, meats, spices, or any other locally grown produce, you don’t want your food to have to travel farther than you did to get there. Locally operated eating establishments often purchase their ingredients from local farms and markets. There is less need for preservatives or freezing. Your food will taste fresher and reflect the tastes of the region.
Cost savings
Although restaurants vary in quality and price, local establishments often offer “specials” and discounts on menu items in season, while chains and franchises are mainly on a nationwide fixed menu.
ambiance
Concessions are decked out in a consistent style that local restaurants don’t have to stick to. A local dining room may be designed with heritage from the regions past, and the owners’ rich history of local dress.
new experience
If you’re dining at a local restaurant, diners may find a hidden “gem” of an experience that can’t be found when sponsored by a franchise or chain restaurant. Whether it’s the unassuming service, the unique entry on the menu, the ambience of the surroundings or just the theme of the local establishment, the ‘excitement’ of not knowing what to expect as a first time customer makes for an entertaining or satisfying evening.
comfort
Ever noticed that most chain restaurants have cheap seating and less comfortable waiting areas, not only to save costs, but there is also a goal to get people in and out as quickly as possible. The local dining establishment enjoys customers visiting their restaurant, which caters to their needs, persuading them to check out and recommending them to their friends and family. Refilling coffee or making homemade desserts might be ahead.
