It's a true taste of old Tuscany. They don't have the greatest wine selection, but their Romesco sauce is god tier

There's a Mexican bakery in town that tastes like garbage, closes for dinner, and always has people there after closing around 2 in the morning. Everybody knows they're a cartel money laundering front but nobody seems to care. Probably something like that.

Because it's an awful chain restaurants that serves low quality reheated prepackaged foods. Their profit margins are great.

Its because they get all their breadsticks and salad second hand from lunch ladies in public schools. Those breadsticks are both recycled AND government subsidized!

>Restaurant tax fraud

How can you say such a thing?

Darden Restaurants Inc is a publicly traded company. It holds the Olive Garden brand, among others. They pay all kinds of taxes, $90 million in 2016.

All sorts of things can factor into how much you pay in taxes. Deprecation & amortization can especially have a large impact because it occurs outside of your operating income.

OP, you do know that pasta is just flour and water, right? Breadsticks too.

why dont you read their fucking annual report ya dingus

went to olive garden for a friend's birthday "as a joke" a couple weeks ago... saltiest fucking meal of my life. that shit is like 50% salt

what made it even worse was we ordered sangria that was like drinking straight koolaid

we all thought it was going to be a "so bad it's good" experience but it wasn't even worth it for the lulz

>doesn't understand how restaurants work

You do realize that you aren't paying for the food when you eat at a restaurant right? It's maybe an average of 25-30% of the overhead depending on what kind of establishment it is. And shit like breadsticks and salad is maybe 5-10% actual cost.

Corporate run restaurants have relatively low overhead because they have major suppliers and can get discounts for the bulk they buy in. Everything is streamlined and probably most people who work there make minimum wage.
