HEY Olive Garden! We are sorry... #PowerPoint #OliveGarden #Darden #StarboardValue
No disrespect. Don’t get us wrong. 
It’s a damn good game plan.
HEY Olive Garden! We are sorry... #PowerPoint #OliveGarden #Darden #StarboardValue

The printout must have been massive!
HEY Olive Garden! We are sorry... #PowerPoint #OliveGarden #Darden #StarboardValue
We just feel it could have used

menu has become far too complex 
“I thought the menu selection was very large, 
almost too many options.”
