<\/a><\/p>\nEarlier this month, QSR Magazine<\/a>, a trade publication representing the fast casual dining industry, reported that Chick-fil-A has the distinction as the most polite chain in the restaurant business.<\/p>\n QSR\u2019s annual Drive Thru Survey of 15 chains found that Chick-fil-A<\/a> employees were the most likely to say “please” and “thank you,” and to smile at customers.<\/p>\n Such gestures may seem trivial in an industry that emphasizes speed and accuracy, but friendliness has helped the Atlanta-based franchise leave\u00a0the competition in the dust. Last year, Chick-fil-A generated more revenue per restaurant than any other chain; its average sales per restaurant reached nearly $4 million. (By comparison, the average Kentucky Fried Chicken sold $1 million.)<\/p>\n Analysts credit Chick-fil-A\u2019s success to its superior customer service. Employees\u2019 cheerful disposition help\u00a0drive higher sales per unit, allowing the restaurant to best chains that have more than twice as many locations.<\/p>\nEager to increase sales?
