/* Cheesecake Factory Survey Shows Wait Times, Traffic Levels Solid, Average Check $49. | The Channel Checkers */

Over the past week, we surveyed various Cheese Cake Factory locations to gauge trends in wait times, average billing and most popular menu items We asked the following questions:

1.What is the average wait time for a party of two?
2.What is the average bill for a party of two?
3.What is the most popular menu item?
4.Was this location busier this month than in January?

62% of respondents said that wait times ranged from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. 22% of respondents reported wait times of 20 minutes to 30 minutes while 13% of respondents reported now wait time at all.
The average bill was reported as being $49 for a party of two with responses ranging from $25 to $80.
The most popular items unsurprisingly was listed as Cheesecake by 39% of respondents. Respondents stated that customers order cheesecake 61% of the time they eat at the restaurant.
72% of respondents reported that their location was busier in February versus January. 24% reported that their locations was slower while 4% said that business was the same in February as in January.

Conclusion of Channel Check: Based on the survey, the activity level at Cheesecake Factory locations appears to be increasing. Average check size remains a little lower than what we might expect to see in a very strong environment but wait times and traffic levels look solid.
