What's The Deal With New/Great/Super/King China Buffets?

Post #1 - August 5th, 2004, 11:39 amNot that I'm a connoisseur of such places (except when eating with my in-laws), but are they a franchise or do they all buy their tables, chairs, signage and equipment from the same one supplier? I know they're usually individually owned, but THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME right down to the round neon signs in the window and the metal curved-back chairs. Who's the mystery corporation behind these outposts? Is it based in Manchuria?

Post #2 - August 5th, 2004, 4:10 pmI think they all have common ownership, i.e. members of the same family. Around a year ago, they were all cited for fair employment practices violations (they weren't paying any of the buffet slaves any overtime) and fined. At the time, I think the news was reporting that they were all family members.Steve Z.

Post #3 - August 5th, 2004, 4:15 pmThe food is remarkably uniform from place to place as well, leading me to believe it is pre packaged and jsut reheated on premises.
I posted recently about how crappy I find them and how I miss the truly family run storefront buffets.I used to think the brain was the most important part of the body. Then I realized who was telling me that.
