The latest fashion among moving companies seems to be the ongoing operations of restaurant acquisitions. Large numbers of moving companies are moving into the restaurant business but without losing their moving services character. It seems to be that the commercial association of moving companies and restaurant procurement is a natural fusion. If at first this does not appear logical then consider the running of moving companies. Most of the moving companies' employees are drivers and movers who are constantly on the move. This means that during the course of the day they have to stop to take a bite or eat a hearty lunch to keep up their energy and satisfy their hunger. The logic is obvious: why let employees of moving companies spend thousands everyday at external bodies for eating when this same expense can be channeled back into the moving companies' coffers. Hence, by setting up restaurants along popular main routes they can offer employees meals and snacks at considerable
discount prices and still make a reasonable profit. In order to tempt drivers and haulers into these company restaurants rather than others, a special coupon system has been set up whereby employees receive dining coupons as a company perk.
