Restaurant I.T. - Data Mining for Carbs
Wanting to one-up the competition, Carlson Restaurants approached Atkins Nutritionals, the company founded by the late Dr. Robert C. Atkins to provide food products and nutritional supplements in support of the eponymous diet, about jointly developing low-carb lunches and dinners, and licensing the Atkins brand. "We felt the best way to communicate to our guests that we are here to help them in their lifestyle choices was to have a brand-name partnership," says Lipscomb.
While Lipscomb admits to being a little lax in her personal devotion to the diet, she proudly notes that by last February, her executive team has collectively lost almost 90 pounds.
