"Legendary Starboard Darden deck — 294 pages prepared for the October 10, 2014 annual meeting where Starboard ran a full proxy fight to replace all twelve directors. Famous in financial media for slide 164 ('Darden stopped salting the water in which it boils pasta') as a canonical example of granular, sensory operational critique. Brinker International's 2000s turnaround is the explicit playbook, with Brinker's former CFO Chuck Sonsteby running on the slate; former Olive Garden president Brad Blum is also a nominee. Cover quote ('you just have to have good people...') from founder Bill Darden is used as an ironic frame against Otis-era management. Bullet-heavy institutional layout, but charts and side-by-side food photography (Carrabba's vs. Olive Garden pasta) are deployed for rhetorical effect.

Starboard's plan, modeled on Brinker International's 550%+ turnaround led by nominee Chuck Sonsteby, calls for a $215-326 million annual EBITDA improvement, a real estate separation worth ~$1 billion in shareholder value, a spin-off of the Specialty Restaurant Group, and an aggressive franchising program.

In fact, Darden's food costs are near the highest in the industry. We believe food waste significantly contributes to Darden's high food costs, especially food waste at Olive Garden. Olive Garden's food costs historically have been ~26-27% of sales, but now they have risen to an estimated 29%, contributing to Darden's overall 30% food costs. We believe the primary driver of Darden's food cost problem is poor execution and discipline around food waste, portion size, and preparation. Menu design has also played a role.
