		<description><![CDATA[Deerfield, Illinois-based Cosi Inc. (COSI), a premium casual dining restaurant chain, recently reported its first quarter 2011 sales results. Total revenue, which comprises company-operated restaurant sales and franchise fees and royalties, decreased 14.1% year over year to $23.7 million in the quarter. This decline was credited to the sale of 13 company-owned restaurants to a franchisee in second quarter 2010. As a result, company-operated restaurant sales tumbled 15.0% to $23.0 million, however, franchise fees and royalty revenues improved 34.4% to $0.7 million. However, system-wide comparable restaurant sales for the first quarter of 2011 spiked 1.7%, despite inclement weather conditions. The comparable restaurant sales represent a key figure, which measures growth at restaurants in operation for more than 15 months. Cosi has succeeded in increasing its comparable restaurant sales for the fourth ]]></description>

(COSI), a premium casual dining restaurant chain, reported a loss of 5 cents per share in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with the loss of 11 cents delivered in the prior-year quarter.

Total revenue, which comprises company-operated restaurant sales and franchise fees and royalties, plunged 10.2% year over year to $25.4 million in the quarter.

The quarterly earnings of 10 cents a share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 16 cents and fell 76.7% from 43 cents posted in the prior-year quarter.

		<description><![CDATA[The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (CAKE) recently reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter 2009 results on the heels of effective cost management. Cost savings of over $7 million were realized during the quarter. The quarterly earnings of 28 cents a share outstripped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents and surged 86.7% from 15 cents delivered in the prior-year quarter. The boost was helped by a 5.7% drop in cost of sales, a 3.3% slide in labor expenses, and a 2.1% dip in other operating costs and expenses. Management now expects first-quarter 2010 earnings between 23 cents and 25 cents a share. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the first quarter is 23 cents.

The quarterly earnings of 6 cents a share were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company had reported a loss of 14 cents in the prior-year quarter, excluding income from discontinued operations. Lower commodity prices and cost-cutting initiatives have driven earnings. Consolidated revenue surged 191% year-on-year to $903.2 million due to Wendy’s merger, which added 6,608 restaurants as of Sep 27, 2009, and contributed $613.5 million in total revenue during the quarter. The merger between Triarc Companies, the franchisor of the Arby’s restaurant chain and Wendy&#8217;s International was completed in Sep 2008. The quick-service food chain is trying to lure consumers by offering $5.01 combo meals, and plans to make $1 menu available ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. (RRGB), the casual dining restaurant operator, recently reported dismal third-quarter 2009 results. The quarterly earnings of 37 cents per share missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and fell 17.8% from 45 cents posted in the prior-year quarter. Total revenue tumbled 10.4% year-over-year to $187 million, as cash-strapped consumers are either trading down to quick-service restaurants or preferring to eat at home, leading to fall in traffic and same-store sales. Same-store sales fell 14.9% for company-operated restaurants, driven by a 13.8% decline in guest counts and a 1.1% fall in the average guest check. Management expects guest count to decline in fiscal year 2009. Same-store sales for franchised restaurants in the U.S. dropped 14.4% and franchised restaurants in Canada fell 0.2%.

		<description><![CDATA[Texas Roadhouse Inc. (TXRH), a casual dining restaurant chain, recently reported third quarter results that topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate on the heels of lower commodity and pre-opening costs besides a jump in the top-line. Earnings of 15 cents a share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 12 cents and climbed 27% year on year. On account of better than expected results, Texas Roadhouse raised its full-year guidance and now expects earnings to rise 20% as against the 5%?10% previously anticipated. For the fiscal 2010, management expects EPS growth to be flat to 10%, if comparable restaurant sales lie within the range of (2%) to flat. The growth in the top-line decelerated. After climbing 12% in the second quarter, total revenues showed a sluggish growth of 4% to $226.5 million ]]></description>

Management expects net earnings to be at the high end of its forecast. The company’s net profit surged 50.4% year-over-year to $6.9 million. As a result, EPS jumped 52% to 38 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate.

The index rose 0.3% to 98.1 from June. The index has remained below 100 for 21 consecutive months. An index of more than 100 would indicate that the restaurant industry is in an expansion phase, whereas below 100 would indicate that the industry is scaling back its development plans and is in contraction. The Restaurant Performance Index, which measures the health and outlook for the U.S. Restaurant Industry, comprises the Current Situations Index and the Expectation Index.

		<description><![CDATA[Bob Evans Farms (BOBE) recently reported first quarter 2010 financial results with a low single-digit decline in the top-line, but with a surprise double-digit growth in the bottom-line. The results were driven by cost efficiencies and fewer restaurant openings. For the reported quarter, cost of sales declined 3.8% year over year to $125.5 million, operating wages fell 1.7% to $150.1 million, other operating expenses dropped 5.6% to $69.5 million, and SG&#38;A decreased 4.5% to $38.4 million. Moreover, the effective tax rate was 28.1%, down 500 basis points from the prior-year quarter. As a result, net profit improved by 16.7% to $16.1 million.
