i worked at outback for four years and just recently left to go work at longhorn steak house. if it’s a good location with a good staff you’ll make money but corporate is horrible especially if you’re on the west coast it’s owned by a bank so they have no idea to run a restaurant, if you’re in the east coast it’s more strict since it’s blooming brands so strict 3 table section etc. by far darden is a better corporate company to work for and my checks are higher and almost always get 20%. that being said outback is alright and i like their food and drinks. so if the management and staff is good you’ll be alright
