Item 1. Business.
General
Prior to March 9, 1996, Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (the "Company") was
known as Morrison Restaurants Inc. ("Morrison"). Morrison operated
three businesses in the foodservice industry. These businesses
were organized into two operating groups, the Ruby Tuesday Group,
consisting of the Company's casual dining concepts, and the
Morrison Group which was comprised of Morrison's family dining
restaurant and health care food and nutrition services businesses.
On March 7, 1996, the shareholders of Morrison approved the
distribution (the "Distribution") of its family dining restaurant
business (Morrison Fresh Cooking, Inc. ("MFCI")) and its health
care food and nutrition services business (Morrison Health Care,
Inc. ("MHCI")) to its shareholders effective March 9, 1996. In
conjunction with the Distribution, the Company reincorporated in
the state of Georgia, effected a one-for-two reverse stock split of
its common stock and changed its name to Ruby Tuesday, Inc.
The first Ruby Tuesday restaurant was opened in 1972 in Knoxville,
Tennessee near the campus of the University of Tennessee. The Ruby
Tuesday concept, with 16 operational units, was acquired by
Morrison in 1982. During the following years, Morrison added other
casual dining concepts, including the internally-developed
Mozzarella's Cafe ("Mozzarella's", formerly "Silver Spoon") and L&N
Seafood Grill ("L&N"). In June 1994, Morrison's Board of Directors
approved the plan to phase out the L&N concept in an attempt to
align all of the concepts into the strategic focus of "feeding
America for under $10." A majority of the L&N's were converted
primarily to either Ruby Tuesday or Mozzarella's and the remaining
locations were either sold or closed. Based on favorable operating
results, Morrison subsequently decided to continue to operate four
of the L&N units as L&N's through the remainder of their lease
terms. In January 1995, Morrison completed the acquisition of Tias,
Inc., a chain of Tex-Mex restaurants, which allowed it to enter
into one of the fastest growing segments of the casual dining
market. The information presented below relates to the business of
the Company following the Distribution unless the context otherwise
requires.
Operations
The Company operates three separate and distinct casual dining
concepts comprised of Ruby Tuesday, Mozzarella's and Tia's. As of
June 1, 1996, the Company operated 365 casual dining restaurants in
33 states.
Ruby Tuesday
Ruby Tuesdays are casual, full-service restaurants with mahogany
woods and whimsical artifacts, classic brass and Tiffany lamps
which create a comfortable, nostalgic look and feel. This year
we're making Ruby Tuesdays feel even more fun and a little more
casual, with black and white checked table cloths, servers dressed
in red polo shirts, and lighter, brighter wall colors. Ruby
Tuesday's menu is based on variety, with something for just about
everyone. Some of Ruby Tuesday's most popular entree items which
are prepared fresh daily are: fajitas, baby-back ribs, chicken
entrees, soups, sandwiches, salad bar, and signature "Tallcake"
desserts in strawberry and chocolate-Oreo varieties. Entree
selections range in price from $4.99 to $14.99.
Ruby Tuesday, with 301 units concentrated primarily in the
Southeast, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, is the Company's
primary growth vehicle. The Company intends to open approximately
32 additional units in fiscal 1997 with the majority of these in
existing markets. While the concept has historically been mall-
based, current development plans call for 85% of new units to be
freestanding. Existing prototypes range in size from 4,300 to 5,600
square feet with seating for 180 to 210 guests. A new prototype measuring
slightly below 4,000 square feet is being tested in order to enable Ruby Tuesday
to more efficiently fill in existing markets and penetrate additional smaller
markets. Other than population and traffic volume, site criteria requirements
for new units include annual household incomes ranging from $30,000 to
$50,000 and good accessibility and visibility of the location.
Mozzarella's Cafe
Mozzarella's is a company-developed, full-service restaurant with a
menu that features a variety of pastas and thin-crust gourmet
pizzas, along with made-from-scratch soups, entree salads and
sandwiches, fresh seafood selections, prime steak and grilled
chicken all prepared with signature recipes. Entree selections
range in price from $4.99 to $12.99.
Mozzarella's decor is upbeat and colorful with polished wood trim
and paneling, European poster art, strings of overhead lights and
tile floors. Displays of olive oil, tomatoes, pasta and other food
products contribute to the appeal of the restaurant. Servers
approach the guests dressed in white button-down shirts accented
with a colorful tie, black trousers and a red bistro apron.
With 46 Company-owned establishments, Mozzarella's are primarily
located in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic with particular
concentration in the Washington, D.C. area, Florida and Virginia.
The Company intends to open only three units in fiscal 1997 in
order to concentrate on improving the operational efficiency and
effectiveness of existing units. New restaurants typically range
in size from 4,200 to 4,500 square feet and seat 140 to 160
visitors.
Tia's Tex-Mex
Tia's, the Company's newest concept, is a full-service, casual
dining restaurant. The decor is reminiscent of an authentic Mexican
restaurant with chandeliers replicating those of an old Mexican
hotel and colors, textures and artifacts that reflect the
restaurants' genuine Southwestern heritage. Tortillas are made by
hand in a display station which contributes to Tia's unique
atmosphere.
Tia's menu items, which are all fresh and made from scratch,
include an array of traditional Tex-Mex favorites such as: fajitas,
enchiladas, tacos, nachos and quesadillas and a selection of unique
grilled and sauteed dishes. The menu also provides the guest with
a variety of appetizers and desserts. Entree items range in price
from $4.49 to $11.99. Chips are cooked fresh throughout the day
and served with just-made salsa to every guest. Each guest is
greeted by a casually dressed server wearing a camp shirt, in
various colors, with the Tia's logo, blue jeans and a short black
apron.
The Company had 18 Tia's operational at the end of fiscal 1996 and
plans to open at least four units in fiscal 1997. New and existing
units are located in the Southwest, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic
regions. New units will have approximately 5,670 square feet with
seating capacity for 215 visitors. New Tia's restaurants are
considered in areas with annual household incomes greater than
$40,000, with sites which are visible, accessible and meet certain
population and traffic criteria.
Research and Development
The Company does not engage in any material research and
development activities. The Company, however, engages in on-going
studies in connection with the development of menu items for all of
its restaurant concepts. Additionally, it conducts consumer
research to determine guest preferences, trends, and opinions.
Raw Materials
Raw materials essential to the operation of the Company's business
are obtained through MRT Purchasing, LLC ("MRT"). MRT was
organized to serve as a purchasing cooperative to allow the
Company, MHCI, and MFCI to pool their collective purchasing power
and to coordinate the purchase of certain food, equipment and
services. The Company is obligated to purchase all core products
through MRT arrangements; non-core products may be purchased
independently. The Company is committed to this purchasing
arrangement for an initial term of five years from March 9, 1996,
the effective date of the Distribution, and the agreement will
automatically renew for additional five-year terms. The Company may
terminate its participation in these purchasing arrangements upon
six months prior written notice, provided it continues to honor its
purchase commitments under any then existing contracts to which MRT
is a party that extend beyond the termination date.
Raw materials are purchased by MRT principally from PYA/Monarch
under a cost-plus arrangement. The purchases from PYA/Monarch are
in accordance with a Supply Agreement entered into on July 8, 1988,
as amended. Purchasing obligations have been allocated to the
Company, MHCI, and MFCI based on past practice. If PYA/Monarch is
unable to meet the Company's supply needs, the Company negotiates
directly with primary suppliers to obtain competitive prices. The
Company uses purchase commitment contracts to stabilize the
potentially volatile pricing associated with certain commodities.
Because of the relatively short storage life of inventories,
limited storage facilities at the restaurants themselves, the
Company's requirement for freshness and the numerous sources of
goods, a minimum amount of inventory is maintained at the units.
If necessary, all essential food, beverage and operational products
are available and can be obtained from alternative suppliers in all
cities in which the Company operates.
Trademarks of the Company
The Company has registered certain trademarks and service marks,
with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, including " Ruby
Tuesday"," Mozzarella's", and "Tia's". The Company believes that
these and other related marks are of material importance to the
Company's business. Registrations of the trademarks listed above
expire from 2004 to 2005, unless renewed.
Seasonality
The Company's business is moderately seasonal. Average restaurant
sales of the Company are slightly higher during the winter months
than during the summer months as the Company is currently
concentrated in mall-based units. Freestanding restaurant sales
are higher in the summer months whereas mall-based restaurants have
higher sales in the winter months, generally peaking during the
holiday season.
Customer Dependence
No material part of the business of the Company is dependent upon a
single customer, or very few customers, the loss of any one of
which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Competition
The Company's activities in the restaurant industry are subject to
vigorous competition relating to restaurant location and service,
as well as quality, variety and value perception of the food
products offered. The Company is in competition with other food
service operations, with locally-owned operations as well as
national and regional chains that offer the same type of services
and products as the Company.
Government Compliance
The Company is subject to various licensing and regulations at both
the state and local levels for items such as zoning, land use,
sanitation, alcoholic beverage control, and health and fire safety,
all of which could delay the opening of a new restaurant or the
operation of an existing unit. The Company's business is subject to
various other regulations at the federal level such as health care,
minimum wage, and fair labor standards. Compliance with these
regulations has not had, and is not expected to have, a material
adverse effect on the Company's operations.
There is no material portion of the Company's business that is
subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or
sub-contracts at the election of the Government.
Environmental Compliance
Compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations which
have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials
into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of
the environment, is not expected to have a material effect upon the
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the
Company.
Personnel
The Company employs approximately 12,500 full-time and 12,300 part-
time employees. The Company believes working conditions are
favorable and employee compensation is comparable with its
competition. None of the Company's employees are covered by a
collective bargaining agreement.
International Operations
All Company-owned operations are located within the United States. On
March 30, 1995 the Company entered into a development agreement (the
"Agreement") with Jardine Pacific Restaurants Group Limited (the
"Developer") to open a minimum of eight, 20, and 38 Ruby Tuesday
restaurants in the Asia-Pacific region by the end of the third,
sixth, and tenth anniversaries of the date of the Agreement,
respectively. Under the terms of the Agreement the Company is to
receive a licensing fee on the first seven Ruby Tuesday restaurants
opened by the Developer in the Asia-Pacific region and royalties from
all units, derived as applicable, from sales or profits as defined in
the Agreement. As of June 1, 1996, the Developer had opened two Ruby
Tuesday restaurants. The Company does not expect this Agreement to
have a material effect on future operations, nor is it currently
engaged in material operations in foreign countries.
Item 2. Properties.
Information regarding the locations of the Company's Ruby Tuesdays,
Mozzarella's Cafes and Tia's operations is shown in the list below.
Of the 365 Company-operated restaurants, the Company owned the
building and held long-term land leases for 32 restaurants, owned
the land and building for 40 restaurants, held leases covering land
and building for 293 restaurants. Administrative personnel of the
Company are located in the executive and administrative
headquarters building located in Mobile, Alabama. The
administrative headquarters has a lease term ending in 1998 and
provides an option to purchase at a nominal amount at the end of
the initial lease term. This building was financed through the
sale of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds from the Industrial
Development Board of the City of Mobile, Alabama.
Additional information concerning the properties of the Company and
its lease obligations is incorporated herein by reference to Note 7
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Annual Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 1,
1996.
As of June 1, 1996, the Company operated 365 restaurants, including
301 Ruby Tuesday, 46 Mozzarella's Cafes and 18 Tia's Tex-mex
restaurants in the following locations:

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
