Quaker Steak debuts smaller prototype

Quaker Steak & Lube has opened its first smaller-scale restaurant, intended as a secondary location in markets where it already has a presence and that might not support additional full-size units of the chain.

The new restaurant in Madison, Wis., is 5,500 square feet and has 198 seats, as opposed to typical Quaker Steak & Lube units, which seat 325 to 350 people and range in size between 7,400 square feet and 8,700 square feet, the motor-sports-themed chain said.
