The Cheesecake Factory Is Opening a New Restaurant Concept This Fall | Eater
"A Calabasas, California–based casual dining chain known for oversized portions, an expansive spiral-bound menu, and indulgent desserts. Historically a strong performer (average locations have generated more than twice the annual revenue of a typical Olive Garden), the chain saw a sales slump after a long stretch of growth but reported modest recovery with same-store sales up 2% in Q1 2018. Many locations are mall-based, which has presented challenges as mall traffic declines. The company has experimented with other restaurant concepts but currently has no plans to create a fast-casual version of its flagship brand." - Whitney Filloon
