"Broad?" Do I detect some frustrated sexism here?
* 34 years in the restauarant business
* Exec VP of Operations for Applebee's, which at over 2,000 locations and sold for $2.1 billion in 2007, is "slightly" bigger than Cosi's
* Apparently the purchasers of Applebee's thought she was good enough to saddle her with a non-compete agreement for a year
* COO of Global Business Development of Brinkers (owns Chili's, Maggiano's), with 1700 locations, then promoted to Pres of Global Ops
* Has taken Cosi from $2 million loss per quarter to breakeven in 6 months
She's not qualified? Then what's the secret sauce?
Unless there is some damaging material event in the next 6 months, I'll wait until the 10K is out in early 2013 before passing judgement. If we are still at $0.70 then, I'll agree and concede that like all those duped Obama voters, she is not the change everyone hoped for.
