Whois & Analysis for eatpdq.com

PDQ is a fast casual chain of chicken restaurants based in Tampa, Florida.

During the time of its conception, its initials initially stood for "pretty damn quick", but this was later changed to "people dedicated to quality".

Its first store opened in Tampa, Florida in 2011.

It was founded by Bob Basham, a former Outback Steakhouse founder, and Nick Reader, CEO of MVP Holdings.

PDQ has 55 locations in eight U.S. states.

According to Basham, each store "averages about $3 million in annual sales".

A fast casual restaurant, found primarily in the United States, does not offer full table service, but promises higher quality food than other fast food restaurants (with fewer frozen or processed ingredients).

It is an intermediate concept between fast food and casual dining, and typically priced accordingly.

The category is exemplified by chains such as Boston Market, Bruegger's, Captain D's, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Culvers, Dig Inn, El Pollo Loco, Five Guys, Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, Newk's Eatery, Noodles & Co., Panera Bread, Pizza Ranch, and Vapiano.

Fast food is a type of mass-produced food that is prepared and served very quickly.

The food is typically less nutritionally valuable compared to other foods and dishes.

While any meal with low preparation time can be considered fast food, typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the customer in a packaged form for take-out/take-away.
