Original Tommy’s World Famous Hamburgers™ A Tradition Since 1946
FORMAT
The restaurant format is self-service with no waiters utilized. Customers place their orders at a servicing counter, simultaneously paying for their order while receiving their food and beverages. Many Tommy’s are open 24 hours per day.
The restaurants all share common elements associated with the Tommy’s theme, such as paper towels, in place of napkins, basic employee uniforms (white shirt, aprons, baseball caps) and “watch while you wait” service. In addition, the Original location in Los Angeles features stand-up counters alongside the building; there are no tables or chairs to be found on premises – customers eat at the counters, which serves as part of the festive atmosphere and preserves a tradition.
PROMOTION
Tommy’s has become known to many Southern Californians as the “Word of Mouth” hamburger. Amazingly, the saying that “the word of mouth travels fast” has proven true for Tommy’s.
Tommy’s has also been the beneficiary of much free advertising. Print-media stories on Tommy’s have been seen in Los Angeles Times, among other publications. Many televisions shows and motion pictures have included Tommy’s in scenes as well.
Tommy’s can lay claim to the slogan “World Famous” due to the inordinate attention given by the foreign press. The Swedish magazine Chic mentioned Tommy’s as L.A.’s quintessential fast food. Australian, Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese television have produced segments as well. In addition, tourist groups from all over the world frequently include the Original Tommy’s as one of their regular stops.
Students from the University of Southern California, as well as many who regularly visit Dodger Stadium and the Staples Center venues are known to be loyal Tommy’s fans.
