Mike- My next door neighbor runs the Outback here-g

RE: Growth. She says that Outback is sponsoring a concept (thought of by 2 ex employees) of a low-cost seafood place (don't ask me details, cause I don't know 'em)..apparently these guys looked at everything about a restaurant (her example: bathrooms...and how you can save money....apparently since its a seafood place, they use cheap particle board instead of walls in some parts of the building- bathroom? to save money...I guess they figure people won't mind..the whole "we are on a ship" thing). I think they are going to a very simple, volume concept...apparently, after working for Outback for 10 years, they came up with dozens of ways to cost cut...(likely food will be abysmal, but whatever)..

I mention it, because I think it is one big way Outback intends to grow biz...(instead of opening more Outbacks)...

Her biz has remained good.....she has a poor location IMO (and I don't like the decor...agree with your comments food quality/price)...but they consistently do well..place has always been packed whenever we go in, and it is only open 4PM-12PM (and I think she grosses 4-5m a year...but don't quote me)

Maybe steaks, eh? You could serve my buddy's desserts (a little CAKE touch)..
