They apparently are not going to release a list of locations.

Outback Steakhouse has always been a restaurant that relied on office workers going to during the weekdays. Often big groups of office workers would go there either for lunch, after work, or for employee gatherings.
Work from home has really taken a toll.
The ones near the office parks in the San Francisco Bay Area suburbs have really been hit hard. They are really out of the way unless you actually work in the office park.

Another sign I’m getting old. I can recall, over 20 years ago, when waits to eat-in would exceed two hours most weekends. Now, the restaurants are pretty much dead.
The last time I dined at Outback was nearly a decade ago, when they had the weekday special for a 6oz sirloin, one side and drink (unlimited soda or a single draft beer) for $10. We stopped at Outback over the Holidays but walked out after seeing the $23 charge for the 6oz sirlion with two sides. Black Angus is about the same price and offers a better meal IMO.

I still encounter waits to dine in at chain restaurants around Reno. Then you get in and you see it is like 50% capacity due to being understaffed.
