Founded in 1965 by Ruth Fertel, the Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse family of restaurants is known for providing their guests with fresh food, good service and delicious steaks with the trademark Ruth’s Chris sizzle. The Indianapolis North location for Ruth’s Chris is located at 2727 E. 86th Street, and serves the northern Indianapolis area.
This restaurant was facing a few challenges. They needed a way to efficiently move food from the kitchen to the main dining area, but have a long staircase that made carrying trays of food between floors problematic. In addition, the restaurant shared a retail area with other businesses, so space was at a premium.
