By the fall of 1986, the restaurant industry's future did not appear to be very hopeful. According to Standard and Poor, restaurant profits had dropped 22 percent compared with the same period in 1985, due primarily to increased competition among restaurant chains and an increase in the popularity of ready-made packaged foods. Some chains were forced to close units, others decided to introduce new menu items, and others looked into geographical expansion. Chili's restaurant was a chain that was forced to re-evaluate its marketing strategies to meet these changed circumstances.
In 1983, Norman Brinker and several other top executives were brought in to replace the original founders of Chili's restaurant, the Lavine brothers. This new team had a reputation in the restaurant industry for holding aggressive marketing philosophies and growth-oriented attitudes. Between 1983 and 1987, Brinker and the other executives introduced a series of systematic changes to Chili's operation that have apparently succeeded in increased Chili's customer base and market share despite the relatively unfavorable conditions the market was experiencing. However, the question remains as to how many changes the management can successfully introduce without alienating loyal customers.

Chili Restaurant Vegetarian Menu
We have prepared this list of vegetarian menu suggestions based on the most current ingredient information from our food suppliers. Please be aware that none of our food items are certified vegetarian. Additionally, many of our recipes contain poultry, meat and fish products and normal kitchen operations involve the sharing of cooking and preparation areas, including common fryer oil. Therefore, it is possible for any food item to come into contact with animal products during preparation and/or cooking processes. Additionally, fried food items could pick-up animal products during the cooking process. Therefore, we recommend that individuals seeking vegetarian menu items avoid ALL fried foods.
