RISE - Menu Monitor

News & Other |
Sizzler USA plans to test a full-service format with a full bar at a franchised location in Las Vegas. The 5,500-sq.-ft. space is
slated to open in late summer and will be modeled after the full-service, full-bar outlets in Asia. Menu prices will remain the
same and the self-service salad bar will still be available. The outpost may use the limited-service format at lunch and switch
to full service at dinner. Sizzler also plans to test a limited-menu express version at a Los Angeles outlet later this year. The
1,200-sq.-ft. variation will be designed for airports and college campus locations. In other news, Sizzler will use a trans-fat-free
frying oil. The company is currently using the un-hydrogenated cottonseed oil blend at company-owned branches in California
and at select franchised units outside of California. Sizzler expects to roll out the trans-fat-free oil out system-wide in the
coming months. (NRN Daily NewsFax 5/18/07)
