About Chili's
Chili’s is a recognizable brand loved by people around the globe. Noted for its Baby-Back-Ribs and other foods, Chili’s serves over 1 million people every day. Over 315 locations in 35 states, in addition to international sites in dozens of countries, exist bringing that mouthwatering southwest Texas flavor to everyone.
Chili’s is not only a leader because of their popularity and food, but they are also a leader through innovation. Chili’s was one of the first restaurants to include touch-screen ordering from the table through their Ziosk interface. This technology accelerates customers’ ability to order, receive their order quickly and receive excellent service. It also streamlines food preparation, reduces bookkeeping functions for franchise owners, monitors inventory more accurately, increases the speed of back-office tasks and helps managers and owners understand the operation of their franchise comprehensively.
This fusion of family foods, technology and service along with the fun atmosphere of each and every Chili’s' location makes it the perfect place for people of all ages to eat with friends or family.
