  2. HISTORY • Nineteen-year-old Bill Darden entered the restaurant business in the late 1930s with a 25−seat luncheonette called the Green Frog in Waycross, Georgia. • Darden teamed with a group of investors in 1963 to buy an Orlando, Florida, restaurant, Gary's Duck Inn. • He decided to name the new chain Red Lobster • In 1970, when there were three Red Lobsters in operation and two under construction in Central Florida, General Mills bought the chain −− keeping Darden on to run it. • Rather than franchise the Red Lobster name, General Mills chose to develop the chain on its own. • General Mills decided to spin off the restaurant business as a public company in 1995 and focus on consumer foods. • The restaurants were renamed Darden Restaurants in honor of Bill Darden (who had died in 1994, the same year that Joe Lee was appointed CEO).

  3. Overview • At more than 1,300 locations in the US and Canada, Florida based Darden is the leading operator of casual dining restaurants, including flagships Red Lobster and Olive Garden. • Red Lobster is the #1 seafood chain (about 650 units) • Olive Garden leads the Italian dining segment (about 540 outlets) • Both chains cater to families with mid-priced menu items, themed interiors, and primarily suburban locations. • Darden also operates a small chain of tropical-themed Bahama Breeze restaurants that offer Caribbean-inspired food, along with Smokey Bones BBQ, a growing chain of sports-themed barbeque joints. • Darden is testing a casual grill and wine bar concept called Seasons 52 that features a rotating menu of nutritious, "seasonally inspired" dishes.

Fiscal years 2003, 2002 and 2001 saw consumed PP&E of 38.7%, 38.8% and 38.1%. Are current values the threshold management has been seeking?

  9. Analyzing Efficiency • Low Accounts Receivable = CASH • Of course the supply days are higher, they’re selling fine, aged wine, not frozen hamburger and potato shreds. • Darden keeps “cash to cash days” comparable to a fast-food joint.

  13. Finger Food Claim Will Hurt Wendy’s • (CBS/AP) Sales have dropped sharply at Wendy's fast food restaurants in the area of northern California where a woman claimed she found part of a finger in a bowl of chili. • The big questions are: • “How much will Wendy’s have to pay for this incident?” • “As a potential investor, do I want to assume this risk for a stock that is already overpriced?”

  14. Special Recipe. Rich. Meaty. • At Wendy’s, there’s always a pot of rich and meaty Chili simmering away. Their special recipe has been warming up Chili enthusiasts for many years, in fact, they’ve won their share of Chili cook-offs. And, did you know, their chili is low in fat and high in finger?
