This is a very nice review and narrative of the Q4 public SSS results. Thank you Jonathan Maze and Restaurant Business Online. A few follow on points. Looking at both Knapp Track and Black Box side by side (thank you Lauren Silberman for very helpful CY 22 and 23 view in DB Restaurant Industry commentary), one can certainly see the decline in casual dining SSS momentum at most brands throughout 2023. I'm particularly seeing no SSS momentum in the prime seasonality months of May-August. Could that be flat marketing or no product new news? Or has the market changed? Especially after the Darden commentary last week about "normalization" we need more perspective about what that means. Also, we should give credit to both brands in The Cheesecake Factory Bakery Group: Cheesecake Factory posted SSS at plus 2.5% and North Italia at plus 7.0%.

We're taking a dive into decision timing in the foodservice sale – starting with restaurant operators. (Education is next on deck). Commercial foodservice may not have the rigid planning and review cycles like what brands see in retail, but there are seasonal cues and timing considerations to help you strike when the moment is right. 🕒 Seasonality – Chain operators generally need 90 days to plan and 90 days to market and rollout new menu items. So if you have a Thanksgiving-inspired sandwich to pitch, operators may already be planning for that menu in May. 🕣 Creatively-driven LTOs – Limited Time Offers enable chefs to put their creativity on display and keep the menu fresh year-round. Think about the role your product can play in a new dish, and keep the ideas flowing for persistent inspiration. 🕚 Additional Dayparts – Help operators better use what they're already buying by expanding the dining occasions, such as brunch or shareable options that repurpose your product.
