Olive Garden
This Italian casual dining restaurant opened in 1982 and is among the most affordable restaurants of Darden Restaurant Company. The average check per person amount in Olive Garden is roughly $20, while it is $100 or so in its Capital Grille sister restaurant. Recently, the logo and restaurant design of Olive Garden have been changed due to a restructuring plan. The restaurant also offers online ordering. In attempt to cut costs, the company is shutting down its nonprofitable restaurants, converting the wait staff to part-time to avoid paying for benefits and health insurance.
