The result was delete. The decision comes down to the quality of the sources. In defense of the article, an impressive number of sources were proffered, but a closer analysis shows that they fail independence critera, or only mention the subject in passing. This analysis seems to have been endorsed by a large majority of the participants and I find no convincing arguments in rebuttal. While any reliable source can be used to verify a claim in an article even if it is not in-depth, satisfying notability requirements generally requires independent sourcing that goes beyond what you would find in a directory or a press release.
(As a tip to AFD participants defending an article by presenting sources: Try to limit yourself to a few very good sources, don't throw everything up and see what sticks. Trying to overwhelm the discussion with dozens of weak sources is counterproductive as any good sources you do have end up being buried in the haystack.)
Finally, the fact that much of the article appears promotional in nature, and sourced to content sponsored by the restaurant chain (for example the content in the "Awards" section) does count against keeping the article. While such problems are in theory surmountable, the presence of content that appears to advertise a company is seriously detrimental to the reputation of Wikipedia as a neutral non-commercial website. If the article were kept these parts of the article would have to be removed or sourced to something more neutral and reliable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 21:29, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
