Who are the MSCs that do fine dining & chain restaurant shops?

February 23, 2011 02:14PM
Hello everyone! I am unable to locate a list anywhere that states what MSCs do restaurant shops. I see plenty for banks, FF, etc. But I'm looking for restaurants. Specifically, Ruth's Chris, O'Charley's, Chili's, Outback, Carrabba's, Cheesesteak Factory, PF Changs, etc. I am in NC. Please post the companies I should be looking into or PM me. MANY MANY THANKS! smiling smiley

Ah, but there is the rub! Our ICA agreements do not allow us to specifically tell you who shops whom. In fact the client name and the company name are not supposed to appear in the same thread. So here is to hints, sort of. While over the years I have seen all of these shopped except O'Charley's (which is not in my market anyway), with the exception of Cheesecake Factory and perhaps Ruth's Chris, these do not appear to being routinely shopped. There are some locations showing up with different MSPs. So, for example, the PF Changs 30 miles from me is shopped from time to time, but not the one 10 miles from me because the client is the location, not the chain. And in terms of PMing you who shops whom, that is just as much breaking our ICA agreements as is posting them in open forum. But if you look at the conversations about Gift Cards as payment you may be able to figure out who does Cheesecake Factory.

Research, go to MSC sites and they will have list of clients, that might help. I have been looking for one myself. Cheesecake Factory and Inn on the Alley give gift cards, the first meal is on you, then you get a gift card. There is a scheduler on these boards that tells you about their restaurants, look "closer" and you will find a hint. Finding what you want takes a lot of time, but is necessary.

Thank you. Sorry - I now realize that was an innapropriate question.
