Branding and Management #Fail: What Does Ruth’s Chris Steak House Have to Do With Moe’s Southwest Grill?
There's an old marketing adage that goes like this: How many drops of pee does it take to ruin the punch? The answer naturally is just one.
I recently visited Ruth's Chris Steak House in my hometown for a family dinner. The service was excellent, the food was just OK … but that's not the story!
We had some food left over and asked for a to-go box. The takeaway box came and it blew us away. Take a look at the picture below — it was from Moe's Southwest Grill.
