NoWaiter is a Urcean multinational fast food corporation, founded in 1950 as "Roll Through No Wait" stand in Coria. The company was later turned into a franchise, becoming regionally successful in the province of the Cape by 1960 and pioneering modern drive-through fast food techniques. Throughout the 1960s, the chain grew nationally and supplanting other emergent fast food chains which did not have drive-through capability, and by 1970 the company - now renamed "No Wait No Waiter" - was the largest fast food chain in Urcea. The company adopted its current name in 1981. Centered in Coria during the first three decades of existence, the company relocated its headquarters to Urceopolis in 1983.
NoWaiter is one of the world's largest restaurant chains by revenue, serving 100 million customers per day worldwide, and is one of Urcea's largest companies by revenue. The menu, which originally included variations of hamburgers, includes a wide array of foods, including and especially hot dogs, fried chicken, and corned beef melts for which the company has become well known. NoWaiter is also well known for its variety of root beer, which entered common retail sale in 1990.
