Darden Restaurants' To-Go Sales Triple During Pandemic
Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI) says the coronavirus pandemic devastated same-restaurant sales in the fourth quarter, causing them to plunge 44% companywide, but it has offset some of the decline through takeout orders, which have more than tripled over the past month.
Because the owner of Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse had built up a substantial to-go business prior to the global healthcare crisis setting in, it may make up for some of the worst losses -- more so than at other casual dining chains.
