Perkins American Food Co.

Ownership

Perkins is a corporate chain owned by Ascent Hospitality Management based in Atlanta. The Madison location at 4863 Hayes Road appears to be company-owned rather than franchised, making it purely corporate-controlled with no local ownership.

Local Sourcing

Marketing materials mention sourcing from local and sustainable suppliers, but the company operates a centralized supply chain for a multi-state restaurant chain. No specific information about the Madison location's local sourcing practices is available.

Community Involvement

Some franchisees show community involvement (e.g., Chamber of Commerce, Give Kids the World), but there is no publicly available information about community sponsorships or involvement specific to the Madison location.

Local Workforce

Employee reviews consistently cite low wages (some earning $11/hour), high turnover, inconsistent management quality, and limited benefits. Glassdoor ratings average 3.2/5 with only 41% recommending employment.

Revenue Retention

As a corporate-owned location, substantially all revenue flows to parent company Ascent Hospitality Management headquartered in Atlanta, with minimal local reinvestment.

Local Presence

The website is heavily templated corporate boilerplate with location selector navigation ('All Perkins Locations / US / Madison'), no owner/staff names or personality, and explicit corporate parent company reference ('ASCENT Hospitality Management brand'). The copy is entirely generic franchise language with zero Madison-specific character or local supplier mentions.
