3. A multiconcept restaurant incorporates two or more restaurants, typically chains, under one roof. Sharing facilities reduces cost of both real estate and labor. The multiconcept restaurants typically offer a limited menu, compared with full sized, stand alone restaurants. For exampple KMAC operates a combination Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC)/Taco Bell restaurant.
The food preparation areas are separate, but orders are taken at shared point-of-sale (POS) stations. If Taco Bell and KFC share facilities, they reduce fixed cost by 3o%; however, sales in joint facilties are 20% lower than sales in two separate facilties.
