Strategic Message Planner: Chili’s

Advertising Goal
“Food like home brought close to you,” the goal is to appeal to the target audience, students that make up a large portion of the populace, by comparing Chili’s hot and diverse options to home-like food they may have previously consumed.

However, there is no Texas Roadhouse here in Weatherford, Oklahoma so Chili’s would be taking advantage of the promising open real estate. There are 7 Chili’s alone in Oklahoma City and only 3 Texas Roadhouse locations. Hawaii is the only state lacking a Texas Roadhouse. Texas Roadhouse supports over 82,000 employees with a yearly revenue of 4 billion dollars.

Indirect Competitors and Brand Images
Indirect competitors would include other restaurant and hospitality businesses such as Olive Garden, Cheesecake Factory, Red Robin, and Applebee’s. Each is a dining experience with American blended foods and utilizes wait staff and servers to magnify personable customer service within establishments. Applebee’s employs 28,000 individuals, while Olive Garden has about 100,000 in employment. Red Robin operates with 24,335 people, and the Cheesecake Factory has around
