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 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.
History
Products
NoWaiter's menu revolves primarily around what it calls the "three beefs" - hamburgers, corned beef, and hot dog products, though the hot dogs used by the company are actually mostly pork. Breakfast was introduced to most restaurants around 1985, and varies significantly from the three beef formula while retaining some thematic concepts from its lunch menu.
Introduced in 1985, the breakfast menu includes a variety of options which are derivative of the all day lunch and dinner fare. The two most popular items on the breakfast menu are the "MornDog", a breakfast sausage presented in the same manner as a hot dog wherein the bun is a griddled pancake with maple flavor, and Hash Sticks, which are corned beef hash shaped length-wise and held together as a solid, surrounded on its lower half by a biscuit casing. Several breakfast-specific beverages are also Offred, primarily coffee and three kinds of tea.
Seasonal specialties
During the season of Lent, fish and plant based options are introduced to the menu, including the popular "green hash", a plant-based substitute of corned beef hash.
