Cheesecake Factory
Cheesecake’s large and varied menu is legendary—a characteristic that’s reflected in consumer responses. Almost 66% of those surveyed pointed to the chain’s menu variety as a draw. In fact, Cheesecake Factory’s sales growth trumps the casual-dining segment as a whole, according to Technomic figures. Comp sales are up 2.1%, per the chain’s most recent earnings call. Like BJ’s, Cheesecake Factory is paying more attention to lighter menu items and dishes with superfood ingredients without abandoning fan favorites.
