		<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. It was the highest level since June. The RPI run-rate in the last three months connotes improvements in same-store sales and customer traffic. The Current Situation Index, which measures comparable-store ]]></description>

(RRGB), which currently operates 450 restaurants across the United States and Canada, is set to open a new restaurant in Woodland, California on April 25, 2011. The company, in order to drive revenue at the new location, intends to implement a guest loyalty program called Red Royalty, focused on retaining guests by providing dining benefits. The company will further use a Limited Time Offer (LTO) strategy supported with television advertising to drive traffic and create brand recognition.

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry finally appears well positioned for gradual improvement in the first half of 2011. The industry had been depressed by extremely tough challenges since the end of 2009 from the economic turmoil that resulted in weak labor and tight credit markets, resulting in lower discretionary spending. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators posted improved results in the recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarters. Encouraging guidance delivered by most of the companies also indicate a return to positive comps.

(CPKI), which currently owns and operates 211 company-owned restaurants and 58  franchised restaurants, announced the opening of a restaurant in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This is the third California Pizza Kitchen restaurant in Dubai, which was opened with franchise partner Gourmet Gulf Company. The full-service restaurant was opened in the first floor of the Mall of the Emirates, a shopping mall in the Al Barsha district of Dubai. The new restaurant is located right across Ski Dubai, the first indoor ski slope in the Middle East and the biggest attraction of the mall. We believe this strategic positioning will drive traffic to the restaurant. This also gives the restaurant an advantage over its peers like McDonald’s Corp. (MCD), PapaJohn&#8217;s International Inc.

(BJRI), which owns and operates a chain of high-end casual dining restaurants in the United States, announced that it has finally opened the tenth and last restaurant of fiscal 2010. The new restaurant covers an area of 8,500 square feet, which accommodates a seating arrangement for 280 guests in Shenandoah, Texas. The company will likely be able to drive a higher traffic in this new restaurant located in the Northern Houston market, at the Portofino shopping center. This is the fifth restaurant in the Houston market. In the past, BJ’s has experienced the strongest rise in comparable store sales in this market, given that the company enjoys a strong brand awareness and guest loyalty.

This is California Pizza Kitchen’s ninth restaurant in Mexico, which the company opened with its franchise partner Grupo Calpik, S.A.P.I. de C.V.

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our rating on Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc (RRGB), a chain of casual dining restaurants founded in 1969, to Underperform from Neutral. The rating downgrade is based on third quarter 2010 results, which were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate, as the company experienced a rise in cost, negatively impacting margins. The company expects negative same store sales and cost inflation in the fourth quarter of 2010. We thus remain apprehensive regarding the stock in the near term, given eroding margins and lagging same store sales due to a decline in traffic. Additionally, the company suspended its outlook for fiscal 2010 and provided a little insight for 2011, thus projecting a low visibility on the stock. Moreover, the stiff competition from other  resturants like California Pizza Kitchen (CPKI) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The second half of 2010 should continue to bring gradual improvements to restaurant industry fundamentals. The industry faced extremely tough challenges through the end of 2009 due to the economic turmoil that resulted in weak labor and tight credit markets, resulting in lower discretionary spending. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales along with a drop in costs, restaurant operators posted improved results in the first half of 2010. We expect the companies to continue delivering better numbers for the remainder of 2010 compared to the year-earlier period. Restaurants have been trying to win back cash-conscious guests who have been reluctant to shell out more disposable income, preferring to dine at home or spend less per meal. Eateries are tweaking ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Seattle-based Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. (RRGB) recently announced that it would open a new Red Robin restaurant in Bethel Park , Pennsylvania , in mid July. The new 6,958-square-foot restaurant will seat 239 guests. Opening of this restaurant will create 100 new jobs in the area. Two months ago, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers had opened another restaurant in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This 5,789-square-foot restaurant has a capacity of 206 seats.

		<description><![CDATA[California Pizza Kitchen, Inc. (CPKI), a leading casual dining restaurant chain, recently raised its third quarter 2009 earnings outlook on the back of operating efficiencies and a lower tax rate that helped offset falling top-line. Management now expects third quarter earnings in the range of 22 cents to 24 cents a share, up from 19 cents to 21 cents a share predicted earlier. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter is 21 cents. California Pizza Kitchen registered a decline of 5.3% year-on-year in revenue to $164.8 million in the quarter from $174 million reported in the prior-year quarter. The restaurant chain also experienced a steep decline in comparable restaurant sales, than it had expected for the quarter. Comps fell 8.0% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to a 2.4% ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent survey by the National Restaurant Association revealed a marginal improvement in the Restaurant Performance Index (RPI) for the month of July 2009. 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. The Current Situation Index, which measures comparable store sales, traffic count, labor costs and capital expenditures for the month being surveyed compared to the same month in the prior ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Benihana Inc. (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. Results were adversely affected by a softer sales trend and higher restaurant level costs amid a turbulent economy. 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.

		<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. Consequently, EPS came in at 52 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny, and increased 15.6% compared to 45 cents reported in the prior-year quarter. Operating ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bites of Opportunity Remain in Overcooked Sector OVERVIEW Restaurant stocks have room on the downside Restaurant stock prices have doubled since their November lows, which were retested in March. The Zacks Restaurant Index has surged 211% from its 52-week lows, far outpacing both the Russell 2000 (up 63%) and the S&#38;P 500 index (up 48%). The major indexes remain roughly 25% off their 52-week highs. Valuation multiples have expanded from trough levels and the group now trades at roughly 15 times 2010 earnings. While there are pockets of opportunity in the sector, we think the recovery will be slower than anticipated by the market, weighed down by a consumer sobered by shriveling home values and retirement portfolios and record levels of debt.
