Red Lobster eyes bankruptcy option after $11M in losses from endless shrimp
abcnews.go.com

"Last year, Red Lobster reported $11 million in operating losses following its flubbed 'Ultimate Endless Shrimp' deal, which backfired when it reeled in too many customers after the limited-time promo became a permanent menu fixture last June. The restaurant chain later reported $12.5 million in losses in the fourth quarter of 2023."

@cyborganism @wreckedcarzz If you take internet reviews there are only three types of restaurants.

  1. Excellent places that deserve their Michelin Stars

  2. Excellent places that should have Michelin Stars

  3. Diarrhea fuel garbage pits. With food so disgusting you shouldn't even feed it to the stray dog that bit your baby.

On our national deal hunting website you can see all the "It gives you diarrhea comments" every time there's a coupon for McDonalds or franchised Shawarma

Chain restaurants also have a ton of variance. Most Olive garden is shit these dates, but A. They were great in the mid 90s before they enshittified, and B. I'm sure there's still a great Olive Garden out there somewhere.

olive garden is the same company as red lobster and chili's

Red lobster was sold off from the olive garden parent company 10 years ago
