Botak Jones is a national chain of American food restaurants in Singapore. The company was founded in 2003 by Bernard "Bernie" Allen Utchenik, following a few failed tries at the food industry.

The business began in 2003, when former U.S. citizen Bernard "Bernie" Allen Utchenik, also known as "Botak",^[1] established the first Botak Jones outlet in Tuas, Singapore, after two failed food ventures.^[2] At least a year before the opening of the business, Utchenik was already running large advertisements for Botak Jones in the newspapers.^[3]

In 2009, there were eleven Botak Jones locations islandwide in Singapore.^[1] In March 2013, Botak Jones was listed as one of the five best "western food stalls" by CEOs' Hawker Choices.^[4] Utchenik sold the business prior to mid-2013, when he opened a new restaurant, BJ's American Diner and Grill.^[5]

Botak Jones' menu predominantly comprises American cuisine. Select outlets serve only halal food, so as to cater to Muslim consumers.^[2] All of Botak Jones' food products are claimed to be free of "chemical flavourings, tenderizers, binders and MSG".^[2] Food items are served in relatively large portions, although "Mini-Me" portions are available for order.^[6] Botak Jones also offers catering services.^[7] In 2009, the company organised an eating contest, where one had to wolf down a "Botak Massive" in the fastest time possible. Winning prizes included a holiday trip overseas.^[8]

Botak Jones has also introduced a "Botak Customer Appreciation Card" scheme, by which customers get certain discounts after accumulating a certain amount of food purchases in cash.^[9]
