Red Lobster and Bonefish Grill?

If it's not appropriate to ask "which company handles XXX" here, please let me know. I have seen a couple of posts like this, so I am assuming it's okay...

Does anyone know who handles Red Lobster or Bonefish Grill shops?

Thanks,

Ryan

I understand Red Lobster is shopped in some parts of the country but have only seen it as a competitor shop in my area. I have seen Bonefish Grill shopped in my area and you need a long history with the MSP of outstanding work to land the shop.

Is discussion about which specific MSP companies provide service for specific clients not allowed in the forums? Meaning, if I asked, "Which company provides service for Bonefish Grill?" would I be told, "You can't ask that here?"

Thanks,

You would indeed be told "You can't ask that here." Reason is that we all sign ICA (Independent Contractor Agreements) that include not disclosing that information. So we cannot put the information in the same thread.

I can tell you here that Walmart is done by themselves because that is my understanding and I have never signed an ICA with them. Somebody who has signed an ICA could legally tell me I'm wrong if it was not true, but they could not tell me in this thread who DOES do it.

This is why you will see "clue" references some times such as Second To None does "coffee shops" or Ritter does "gas stations" [NOTE: To the best of my knowledge neither of the MSPs named does the shops you are looking for.] but you won't get a specific such as Bloomingdale's is shopped by PDQ. [NOTE: I have not seen Bloomies shopped and I know of no PDQ company that does mystery shopping].

Wrong! PDQ shops Bloomingdale's.

Yes, I missed you!

Uh, Sneakers, the modem is supposed to connect to the phone line or cable depending on your service provider. Having it in hand won't get you a good connection unless you have grown some strange anatomy.

Smartass!!

So, a clue to who's the competitor who shops Red Lobster? And is the food any good at Red Lobster?

I haven't seen them competitor shopped for a couple of years. They are now part of Darden Restaurants (along with Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, Longhorn Steakhouse, and The Capital Grille). The various restaurants in the group are shopped by different MSPs.

As for food, I have been there twice. I found them overprice and under qualitied. I was fascinated that for their signature shrimp dishes they managed to get the texture of the shrimp to be rubber and I had the impression that they had added sweetener to their lobster to get flat flavored lobster to be the "good quality lobster sweet". Once a restaurant can disappoint. Twice disappointed I won't bother returning.

The "shrimp in every bite" fettucine alfredo is good but not great. The rest is mediocre. you get what you pay for, and with all the specials and coupons, you don't pay anywhere near the going rate elsewhere, but, the fish is mainly frozen
and lower end in quality (I know more about fresh seafood than i ever wanted to since it's what my hubby does...) compared to other places using higher grade
fresh seafood.

bonefish on the other hand uses higher grade fish and i believe is shopped. i'm pretty sure i've seen it, but there aren't any here.

I went home every time with a stomache ache and the good thing there is the biscuits.They are the best,but it is a low budget seafood place that serves low budget seafood in my opinion. You get what you pay for....
