thumb|right|A Checkers restaurant.
Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. is a chain of double drive-thru restaurants on Mobius. The company operates Checkers and Rally's restaurants all over the planet. They specialize in hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries, and milkshakes.
==Products==
Checkers' menu consists of hamburgers and French fries, as well as onion rings, corn dogs, chili dogs, and breakfast toaster sandwiches. Drink options include soft drinks, slushes, and milkshakes. Customers can combine various drinks and flavors to create thousands of possible drink combinations. Ice cream desserts include sundaes, cones and floats.
==Overview==
Originally separate companies serving different geographic areas, the two companies merged two years before Robotnik located Mobotropolis. Generally speaking, the Checkers name remains used in the Southeast of Erina as well as the Northeast while the Rally's name remains used in the Midwest; the two brands have overlap in several areas.
The merged company is headquartered in Capsule Coast. Most locations specialize in carryout service with drive-thru and walk-up windows available, but no indoor seating, though some legacy Rally's locations in the Midwest retain dining rooms, as well as a Checkers location with an indoors dining area. Checkers was founded by Andretti the Cheetah, and the company went public soon after. The company later absorbed Maxie's of Mobius, Snapps Drive-Thru, and Zipps Drive-Thru.
Later, Rally's was bought by CKE Restaurants, parent company of Mobius' versions of Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. CKE sold Rally's to Checkers soon after that. Unlike the two CKE chains (which have at various points flip flopped between marketing Carl's Jr. & Hardee's as one chain or separate regional chains that both share Carl's Jr's Happy Star logo & imaging but have largely separate menus), Checkers promptly merged Rally's into its branding, and the two chains are now only different by name.
Soon after, the company went private through a merger with Taxi Holdings Corp., an affiliate of Wellspring Capital Management, a private equity firm. Wellspring sold Checkers to another private equity firm, Sentinel Capital. Checkers later announced that it would be sold to Oak Hill Capital Partners for M525 million. The sale was completed a month later.
After that, Checkers announced a planned expansion for over two dozen locations in area where Mobotropolis was located. Despite Rally's having brand recognition in the area the locations were to be branded as Checkers. The company made its official return in the area in 2019 under the Rally's brand with the opening of a location in Penn Hills. The company hasn't opened any more locations in the area since due to the rise of the Robotnik Empire, but after Robotnik was defeated a few more opened when the planet was freed by Sonic.
