Maggiano’s sales soar with help from a booming to-go business

Off-premise sales are up 81% compared to before pandemic, and they are highly incremental, executives said.

Comps for both brands were helped by the It's Just Wings virtual concept, but off-premise business slipped overall.

Maggiano's Italian Classics features Italian standards, with an emphasis on $10 lunch combos.

Same-store sales have slipped during the period from -1% to -12.3% and parent Brinker International is pulling back quarterly guidance.

It's Just Wings will provide its signature product from the kitchens of Chili's and Maggiano's.

Brinker said the switch reflects a change in its management structure.

COVID-19 has elevated stress and anxiety levels among owners, employees and customers. Here’s how operators are coping.

Delivery and takeout business has more than doubled, but off-premise is generating only about 30%-35% of former sales levels.

The changeover is part of a stepped-up effort to boost in-store business.
