BJ's Restaurants' bullish approach to off-premise has paid off, helping it to pass TGI Fridays and become the No. 10 casual-dining chain. As of July, delivery sales at the chain were growing at a 20% clip, and the chain reported that takeout and catering sales were increasing as well. BJ's also overhauled its back-of-house operations in 2019 to make things more efficient and easier on employees.
