		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry is showing improvements and seems poised for long-term growth, but concerns about the health of the U.S. economy and the nagging sovereign debt issues in Europe pose some risks to this outlook. However, if we look back at the last few months, restaurant operators managed to post improved results riding on the back of modest traffic improvement and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales. A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed that the Restaurant Performance Index (RPI), measuring the health and outlook on the U.S. restaurant industry, was 100.1 in September, up 0.7% from August.

The company’s comparable restaurant sales grew 6.7% in the second four-week period of the second quarter of 2012, representing the twentieth consecutive period of growth. The upside in sales was primarily driven by improved comparable restaurant sales at both Benihana Teppanyaki and RA Sushi restaurants due to higher traffic. However, sales at the other 12 restaurants were hurt by Hurricane Irene. As a result, comps plunged by 0.7% for the period. The comparable restaurant sales jumped 8.2% at Benihana Teppanyaki restaurants on the back of higher guest count (up 6.2%) resulting from the Benihana Teppanyaki ]]></description>

(RRGB) reported its fourth quarter 2010 adjusted earnings of 12 cents per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 5 cents. Earnings were up 20% from 10 cents in the year-ago quarter. However, including the effects of restaurant closure charges and executive transition expenses, GAAP net income during the quarter was $2.2 million or 14 cents per share. Results benefited from the upside in revenue driven by comparable sales growth. The company said that total revenues for the fourth quarter rose 5.7% year over year to $192.6 million and inched up slightly from the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $192.0 million.

(BNHNA), the operator of Benihana Teppanyaki, Haru and RA Sushi restaurant concepts, recently reported its fiscal first quarter results with a low single-digit rise in the top line but a sharp double-digit fall in the bottom line.

Total revenues for the quarter under review ascended 1.6% year over year to $96 million. Restaurant sales rose by 1.6% to $95.5 million, whereas franchise fees and royalties fell 5.2% to $507,000. By concepts, restaurant sales slipped 1.6% to $63.2 million at Benihana Teppanyaki restaurants and 14.8% to $10.1 million at Haru restaurants, but jumped 24.2% to $22.1 million at RA Sushi restaurants.
