 Checkers restaurants follow a retro theme with abundant use of chrome flashing, neon tube lighting, and black and white checkered tiling. To reinforce recognizability and minimize costs, Checkers predominantly uses prefabricated restaurant units that consist of a main food preparation building and twin drive-thru windows. As a facet of the unique facility design, many stores do not have inside seating (one exception is the Rally's in Lexington, Kentucky; another is the Rally's near the state capital building in Charleston, WV, and the Checkers in Sayreville, New Jersey); however, outside dining facilities, such as patio tables with umbrellas, are present. One must either use the drive-in or order at the walk-up window at the front of the restaurant.

Checkers and Rally's had similar concepts, being almost exclusively drive-thru with very little seating. After the merger, Rally's began redesigning its restaurants to follow the Checkers look. Today, with the exception of a different name on the sign, Checkers and Rally's restaurants look nearly identical.
Menu The menus of the two restaurants are nearly identical, differing in that Checkers' menu includes additional hamburgers (including the original Champ hamburger). Over time, the Checkers menu grew in size to include chicken and fish sandwiches, chicken strips, and a wider selection of hamburgers.
Checkers has been subject to some criticism due to their lack of nutritional data or information about the ingredients in their food. When asked about their food, they send an email stating that their menu is in the process of undergoing change, and thus no information is available. This response has been used since early 2000. While a select few items have basic nutrition info, the majority of the menu is without any nutritional information whatsoever. This has caused concern among vegetarians that beef and chicken products may be used in the french fries. Dietitians have also raised concerns about the type of oil used and the sharing of fryers among different menu items. The fast food chain has stood out as the only mainstream fast food chain that is secretive about its menu ingredients and nutrition. [1] [2] Roast Chicken Not including 32% bones. ...

Advertising and promotions The slogan of the restaurant from in 1999-2000 was "High performance Human Fuel" and was then changed and used from 2000-2007 to "You gotta eat!" Although they still say that slogan in the "Big Buford" commercial, the slogan was replaced.
In September 2007, ML Rogers, LLC., a Madison Ave. advertising agency, won the advertising rights for Checkers Restaurants. They completely restructured the advertising campaign. Among one of the many changes is their new slogan, "Little Place, BIG TASTE," which can been seen in commercials airing since October 2007.[3]. ML Rogers, LLC. also does advertising for The Scotts Company and is owned by President and Executive Creative Director Michael Rogers, who was previously employed by DDB Needham Worldwide, Inc., and the Wolf Group.
