I always have thought a Skyline would do really well in TV. Skyline is inexpensive, fast, and addictive.
The restaurants do not require a huge amount of square footage because the tables turn over so fast.
Many of the customers do not take the time to even glance at the menu. They know what they are there for.
We Skyline lovers are used to people making fun of us. But we do not care. (When our son-in-law moved to Cincinnati, he mocked Skyline, said it was weird stuff. It did not take long 'til the Skyline near his job knew him when he walked in and said his order to him before he could say anything. HAH! HAH! HAH!)
I cannot speak for all of them, but the Skylines I have been to are usually squeaky clean. A lot of the work is done in front of a counter with stools for customers. The servers use the little sweepers -- cracker crumbs, etc. The tables are cleared immediately. No piled up dirty dishes anywhere.
(I did hear a rumor of a brief, unfortunate incident, when the crackers were not the same. It was said they had changed suppliers or something. I really do not know. BUT, it did not take long for the usual crackers to be back. People noticed. Skyline listened. Or that is the word on the street anyway.)
I really do think a Skyline, run right, could be a big hit in TV.
(Oh well, enough from me. I need to do things I do not want to do today so I was in search of diversion and started into this thread. And, now, that Skyline song is playing in my head. Please listen, if you dare:

PS: Do not judge Skyline by the grocery store version. It does not do it justice.
