Checkers restaurants feature a limited menu of high quality hamburgers, cheeseburgers and bacon cheeseburgers, specially seasoned french fries, hot dogs, and chicken sandwiches as well as related items such as soft drinks and old fashioned premium milk shakes. All food is made fresh to order and is sold at everyday low prices.
Ninety-percent of all Checkers Drive-In Restaurants were built at Checkers' Champion Modular Restaurant facility. Modular structures provide a uniformly appealing street presence for each Checkers restaurant.
The double drive-thru concept allows Checkers to capitalize on the fact that approximately 50% of all quick-service food business is drive-thru. Checkers customers can also enjoy a 1950's flashback with walk-up ordering and outdoor dining in the picnic area outside each Checkers location.
