CNN
Outback Steakhouses of the future won't be nearly as expansive as the outback itself.
Like many casual dining chains, Outback is pivoting toward a post-pandemic future in which delivery and takeout orders are increasingly important to the bottom line. So the chain, known for its Bloomin' Onions and steaks, is reducing the size of its restaurants by 17% to clock in at about 5,000 square feet.
These new and more compact locations will include smaller kitchens and expanded pickup areas for takeout and delivery.
