Coyote Jack's Hamburgers and Ritazza Coffee shops

[Steve J. Rogers 0]

Something slightly askew, I am taking graduate courses at a New York State college in southern Westchester County (southern NY, about a half hour outside New York City depending on time/traffic, ect) and been visiting the food courts and noticed the names of the providers of fast food style stuff (hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, french fries, ect) as "Coyote Jack's" and the coffee products were provided by "Ritazza" being slightly curious as to why I never heard of such companies I did a google search and found them all over the mid and south west, (and all over the United Kingdom as well aparantly)leading me to wonder if they were the cheapest avalible for this college to chose from!

 

Just to point out an example, my ala mater, Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT (Southern New England) used Burger King, albeit a national chain based in Florida but you will find scores of them in the Northeast so its not like "Who in the? that you get when you bring in regional chains from a different region and Green Mountain Coffee Makers were the coffee distributors, they are a Vermont company, who are either partners or a branch of Poland Spring who obviously come from Poland, Maine, so even if you never heard of them, they are a local distributor. In other words, you don't have to comb the country looking for them.

I believe Chartwells (the dining services for many of the SUNY schools and many other colleges) are franchisees of the bigger restaurants (such as BK, Pizza Hut or Sbarro). Some are Chartwells' own brands (Ritazza).
