That's what I was thinking. In the case of Cracker Barrel, that means old style home cooking with good-sized portions.
For breakfast I can suggest 2 areas for improvement:
1) Have someone at breakfast not waiting tables but constantly roaming through the dining room with hot coffee for quick refills.
2) Take the damn butter out of the freezer enough in advance to warm up so I don't have to put a butter rock on my biscuit!
They still have to change all the new logos they installed back to the old ones. Plus all the money paid to come up w/ the new logo (that a 6th grader could have done on photoshop in 20 minutes) in the first place, plus all the existing orders for the new logo that they’re going to have to eat.
No wonder this restaurant loses money with decision making like this. Like many others have stated, better focus on the food and the interiors.
This commercial architectural period we’re in is nothing short of horrible, btw. Straight lines, grey on grey, flat roofs. Make it stop.
