Introduction of Raising Canes
Raising Cane’s Restaurants is an American fast chain founded in 1996 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana by Todd Grave and Craig Silvey.
Barkat’s daughter, Urooj Fatima always asked him about raising cane’s prices. But he could never find a proper website for it. She got frustrated and one day he said why is it so hard to just know the prices ,that stuck with him that night. He decided to make a website himself. He spent weeks gathering information designing everything. When he showed it to her, she smiled and said finally now others won’t have to struggle like us.
Ever wondered about tantalizing menu pieces of raising cans?
As per wikipedia of Raising Cane’s The Founders Todd Graves and Craig Silvey were studying at different universities when they wrote a plan for a chicken-finger restaurant which Silvey submitted in a business plan-writing course, receiving a C-minus grade. At the time, Graves worked at Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers. The business plan was rejected numerous times by potential investors, so Graves and Silvey earned the needed money working various manual labor jobs. They obtained an SBA loan, which they used to open their first restaurant, located in Baton Rouge at the intersection of Highland Road and State Street near the LSU campus (718191 Silvey sold his share of the partnership shortly after the second restaurant opened. In March 2020, many of Cane’s locations switched from dine-in to pick-up and take-out service only due to the COVID-19 pandemic, whereas others closed temporarily. As of July 2020, certain locations had reopened their dining rooms, although Graves said the company was in no rush to do so on the full scale.
