Too many breadsticks? Olive Garden investor details ways restaurant could improve

(AP) - An investor has some suggestions for how Olive Garden can improve its performance, down to the way it rations its unlimited breadsticks.

In a nearly 300-page document, Starboard Value criticizes parent company Darden Restaurants Inc. for its management of the Italian restaurant chain. Starboard is hoping to gain control of Darden's board with the election of its own nominees next month. Darden Restaurants says it's reviewing Starboard's plan but notes it's already implementing a plan to improve financial results.

I'm not sure the investor understands Americans or Olive Garden customers.

I remember, prior to moving to NYC, loving Olive Garden. I tried it once a few years ago after a long hiatus and holy shit it's awful... the soup has to be 80% salt and I've had better pasta dishes from Stouffers.

Fazoli's is almost on par with Olive Garden. OG should really open up a drive through.

Anywho... I do like the breadsticks (who doesn't).

I love the bit about not salting the water to boil pasta so that the pots will last longer. Investor to Olive Garden: Fewer Breadsticks 502811600

ps. I must be a heathen, I've heard of adding salt to the water.
