All they serve is frozen food. No loss. Sad for the employees who lost their jobs

I remember seeing the boxed biscuit mix at BJ's.

Like a lot of restaurants it’s just getting to expensive to eat out, like going to McDonalds to get a Hamburger, Small Fries & a small drink, it’s about 10 to $15. Now Red Lobster for me & my wife , 35 to $40.

You raise the minium wage, the resturants raise the prices. Everything gets passed to the customer... Places go out of business....simple

The problem with this recipe it tells me how unhealthy these biscuits really are. Better to eat once in awhile than making a batch.

Thanks for the info

or it could have been the 9 million dollars or more they lost in the unlimited shrimp plates and didn’t stop even when they knew it was a disaster , it tells you how stupid management was running the business , but oh yeah let’s blame it on a small raise for workers

I read an article recently in a major business publication that predicted that Red Lobster's all you can eat shrimp promotions were leading them to bankruptcy. It is completely unsustainable. Case closed.

I don’t have fish in this, I don’t like seafood. Closest thing to eating seafood for me would be long johns silvers. I once when to all you can eat catfish cabin which had seafood. I watches herds circling loading up plate after plate of Alaskan snow crabs legs. When they they got done looks like piles of bones stacked two feet on Table like old west pictures of buffalo bones stacked up. The restaurant lasted about 5 months before they was eat out of business.

Amazing how restaurant owners have no clue as to the economics of running a restaurant

The cost of shrimp feed, for example, has risen 25% in the last 3 years, that’s one price in the seafood supply chain.
NO ONE, is willing to pay the price that RL’s dishes should be based on price - the people who could afford are not eating at Red Lobster.

Look at the increased cost of beef or bacon, and you can see other restaurants won’t be far behind.

Except the majority of RL product is sourced outside the US. That’s on them. How many Maine lobster men would love an exclusive vendor deal with a huge conglomerate. Instead they dovetail in langostino and Caribbean extensions. If you want to argue ‘supply chain’ and price point, eliminate those imports and buy US sourced product

.....and the prices would be even more expensive. I have not done a google search, but I would be surprised if seafood isn't the most labor-intensive protein sources.

Another reason I avoid chains like that....the parent conglomerate would rather quantity of retail brick and mortar rather than less of latter and more consistent quality of product. I get it but I don’t survive on eating out at under $9.99....but when I do, I’d like something that is better than pier bait...and most would pay the additional premium for that level of quality
