Proper noun place

Hi, what if I want to use a proper noun for a place, such as a restaurant name?
For example, "I am eating at Pizza Hut."

Thanks!

Bonjour Michelle tan,

Je mange au Pizza Hut = I am eating at Pizza Hut

Je mange au McDo = I am eating at McDonalds

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

Googling around a bit I've seen "je mange au Pizza Hut" and "je mange chez Pizza Hut".

I think these two variations are OK for proper nouns (so including McDo = McDonalds).
