Denny’s Corporation has opened its first fast casual restaurant in Orange, Calif. Denny’s Café offers a smaller version of the traditional Denny’s experience, catering to guests with a more streamlined menu, counter service ordering and a smaller real estate footprint that allows for easier entrance into urban, more densely populated markets.
Denny’s Café leverages the traditional Denny’s brand image to offer diners the same family restaurant experience in a setting that provides a faster service model, where guests will be able to order from menu boards at the counter, select their table and have the food delivered directly to them.
Denny’s Café features an abbreviated menu, however offering most of the traditional favorites found at Denny’s, including the "$2 $4 $6 $8" value menu.
The second Denny’s Café is expected to open in Livermore, Calif., in December. Both locations will be company-owned restaurants. Denny’s Café locations will seat 75 to 90 guests and will be approximately 3,000 square feet in size. The restaurant will operate between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.
The Orange location will celebrate its grand opening with an event Dec. 4 that includes free Grand Slams for a year to the first 100 people in line.
