Website: http://www.pfchangs.com P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Inc. owns and operates two Asian restaurant chains: P.F. Chang's China Bistro is a full service upscale casual dining restaurant and Pei Wei Asian Diner (pây wây) is a quick casual, limited service restaurant. Currently, there are 189 P.F. Chang's locations and 159 Pei Wei Asian Diners. Restaurants are typically located in large suburban malls or high-traffic locations. P.F. Chang's menu features traditional Chinese offerings and innovative dishes that illustrate the emerging influence of Southeast Asia on modern Chinese cuisine. Working in a dramatic exhibition kitchen, chefs use Mandarin style wok cooking to prepare the food. Pei Wei Asian Diner caters to a quicker, more casual dining experience offering attentive counter service and take-out flexibility. Pei Wei serves classic Asian favorites cooked to order using contemporary recipes. Dine-in guests order at the counter, pick up their drinks, and take a seat. The menu is designed to allow guests to choose the style of entrée and their choice of beef, chicken, shrimp, scallops, vegetables, or tofu. The modestly priced menu ranges from $1.95 - $9.00. Beer and wine is available. All restaurants are company-owned except for one location in Hawaii. In 2008, the company reported revenues of $1.19 billion and net income of $27.4 million. The Company has reduced new restaurant development for 2009 and currently expects to open 4 to 6 new Bistro restaurants and 2 to 4 new Pei Wei restaurants. History Restaurateur Paul Fleming founded the chain in 1993 and is the P.F. in the name. The "Chang" in the name is from Fleming's co-developer, Phillip Chiang. The first P.F. Chang's opened in Scottsdale, AZ in 1993 and the first Pei Wei made its debut in the Phoenix-metro area in 2000. Benefits - Health insurance Updated February 18, 2009 |
