		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry appears well positioned for gradual improvement in the first half of 2012. The global economy had been affected by challenges mainly in the second half of 2011 due to concerns about the nagging sovereign debt issues in Europe and the health of the U.S. economy. While these remain issues, the outlook for the U.S. economy has significantly improved lately. But despite these odds, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in the last few months on the back of modest traffic improvement and the consequent rise in comparable store sales. Easy comparisons from the prior year placed performance of 2011 in a brighter light. Encouraging guidance delivered by most of the companies also indicate a return to solid comps. With some expected turnaround in Greece&#8217;s debt ]]></description>

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.

		<description><![CDATA[The restaurant industry is finally showing improvements and seems poised for long-term growth. Riding on the back of a slowly reviving U.S. economy and the consequent rise in comparable-store sales, restaurant operators have managed to post improved results in recent months. We expect restaurant companies to continue delivering better numbers in the upcoming quarter over the year-earlier period. In second quarter 2011, most big names in the industry outperformed the Zacks Consensus estimates. More good news came from the NPD foodservice market research report, which stated that annual visits to restaurants are expected to increase by 8% over the next ten years. 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 99.9 in ]]></description>

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Cosi Inc. (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. The loss narrowed down due to positive comparable store sales growth and shrink in operating loss. In fiscal 2010, loss per share was 6 cents versus a loss of 27 cents a share in fiscal 2009. 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. Company-operated restaurant sales tumbled 11.1% to $24.6 million due to the sale of 13 company-owned restaurants to a franchisee in the second quarter of 2010.  However, franchise fees and royalty revenues increased 36.4% year over year ]]></description>

This is the first four-week period of third quarter 2011. Results reflect the benefits of the Benihana Teppanyaki Renewal Program, which the company initiated in 2009 to improve the dining experience of the guests at the Benihana Teppanyaki restaurants. The company’s comparable restaurant sales grew 4.8% in the reported period, representing the ninth consecutive period of growth. The comparable restaurant sales jumped 8.2% year over year at Benihana Teppanyaki restaurants, given the traffic gain of 11.8%. However, due to challenging economic environment, same store-sales declined 1.3% at RA Sushi restaurant and dipped slightly by 0.2% at Haru. The largest U.S. chain of Japanese ]]></description>

(PNRA), a leading retail bakery-café operating company, has raised its earnings outlook for first quarter fiscal 2010 as well as for the entire fiscal year, based on strong comparable bakery-café sales growth.

		<description><![CDATA[The earnings outlook for Panera Bread Company (PNRA) remains strong ahead of its quarterly results next month. While the prospects of many of its peers continue to be weighed down by the weak economic environment, the upscale bakery chain last week reported robust same-store sales for the fourth quarter. Panera shares have been strong performers since its pre-release in an otherwise weak market. The company is scheduled to report fourth-quarter results on February 11. During the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter, the company-owned comparable bakery-cafe sales increased 7.4% on a calendar basis, and 5.9% on a fiscal basis. Comparable bakery-cafe sales (calendar basis) increased in every fiscal month of the quarter (6.8% in Oct, 6.1% in Nov and 9.6% in Dec).

		<description><![CDATA[It’s been 3 weeks (April 19th) since I advocated selling and/or shorting a whole slew of restaurant stocks on the basis that the entire sector had climbed much too far too fast, and there were several names that were ripe for the picking. Since that recommendation, my average pick is beating the market by 11% vs. shorting the Russell 2000, which is the benchmark I use because these stocks are all small caps. I wanted to review the stocks that I talked about in that post as well as check in on their performance since that article vs. a few market indexes, as well as their earnings results since most of them have since reported earnings. These include: Chiptole Mexican Grill (NASDAQ: CMG) (NASDAQ: CMG.B), Buffalo Wild Wings (NASDAQ: BWLD), ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let’s face it, people need to eat, and sometimes, yea, we like to treat ourselves and eat something a little above and beyond the normal fare. Even in recessionary times, consumers can only hold off for so long before they eventually give in to at least SOME of life’s temptations and finer things. We can see the evidence that speaks to this need at least partially in the restaurant sector as we speak. Results have been trickling in over the last few months by many different operators and surprisingly, most of the results have not been as bad as feared, or forecast. As a result, and also because of the timing of the bounce of the recent market bottom, restaurant stocks have soared to the tune of anywhere from 50-200% ]]></description>
