Chapter 1

1. What restaurant chain did Carl Karcher start?
Carl Karcher started the Carl's Jr. chain. He started off as a simple bakery delivery man, bought his first hot dog stand, and now controls one of the largest privately owned fast food chains in the United States.
2. What was the "Speedee Service System" and how was it different from what other fast food restaurants were doing?
The "Speedee Service System" is basically what they used to call a "Drive-Thru." This way you could stay in your car, and not have to wait for someone to bring you your food. This was different because other people were still having to find parking, wait for someone to come to them and get their order, and then wait even more for their food to be delivered to them. Now all they have to do is wait in line, get their food, and go.
