Report from The Nation dated Friday 12 May 2006 :-
Sizzler offers take-away salads as it tries to drum up sales
===================================
In an attempt to maintain its sales during the current economic slowdown, the operator of the Sizzler restaurant chain has expanded into take-out food.
SLRT Ltd, which runs all of the US-based company's steakhouses here, will start with its "Salad To Go" menu hoping the move will expand its customer base by 5-10 per cent and increase the frequency of visitors. Thailand is the second country to launch "Salad To Go", after Australia last year, said Nongchanok Stananonth, marketing director for SLRT.
"Salad To Go" customers receive a box, which they can fill at the salad bar. The boxes are then weighed at the cash registers to calculate the price. With each box, customers receive a cup of soup of their choice.
The salad box itself costs Bt10 and the minimum price for a take-out salad is Bt50.
Nongchanok said take-home salads allow Sizzler to reach customers who would not normally visit the restaurant.
It is hoping its regular customers buy the salads at first, but because the boxes can hold enough food for more than one person, Sizzler is hoping customers will share the salad with friends and family.
Tapping into the loyalty of existing customers is a better way to create interest in the new service than advertising, Nongchanok said.
To build awareness of the new scheme, Sizzler will display "Salad To Go" posters at all of its branches and also have presenters on hand to promote the service.
The company conducted trials of Salad To Go last month at five branches and found that 70-80 per cent of customers who tried it came back and bought it again later. This month, it will expand the idea to 20 branches, including one in Nakhon Ratchasima province.
SLRT expects only modest returns from Salad To Go, but sees it as an important part of its strategy to build loyalty among its customers, who due to the recent economic situation have been forced to tighten their belts.
Despite a general slowdown in consumption nationwide, Sizzler's sales are still growing, according to the company. Average spending per head at Sizzler's 28 branches is a little over Bt100 at lunchtime and Bt200 at dinnertime.
Last year, it attracted four million visitors, of which 40,000 were members. It expects the number of visitors to increase 10 per cent this year and its membership to increase by 25 per cent.
So far this year, the company has opened two branches. It plans to open two more before the end of the year.
Each branch costs between Bt18 million and Bt20 million to open and covers about 200 square metres.

PussyLover mentioned Sizzlers, an American restaurant. Not my favorite restaurant, but I'm an American so I eat there sometimes. Well, speaking of Sizzlers, I ate today at the MBK branch and yesterday at Silom in CP tower. I sometimes eat at one near my residence too. Something I've noticed about their salad bar is the Thai-ification over the years of what's on offer.
Sort of like any foreign restaurant in any country, it's hard to get authentic food.
But say, 6 years ago, many Sizzler salad bars had for example radishes, a red sauce with the pasta, clam chowder, and a yellow potato salad. Good. These have been replaced with a creamy tuna sauce (yick) for the pasta and an Asian potato salad with pieces of corn in it--in short, with funky shit that any American I know would not find appealing in the least. But maybe some of you guys like it, I don't know. They need to get back to their roots, in my opinion.
And that salsa they often have--it looks good, but what am I supposed to eat it with, big curly fishy rice chips?
I like the other stuff. Maybe I'll have to write out a comment card for Mr Sizzler.

Hi All,
Now that me and the misses are back in he US..I miss 2 restaurants I frequented all the time...not just for the quality of food but the prices.
They are both off Sathorn on st louis 2 I believe..same street as the entrance to Assumption Prathom.
One is a korean stlye BBQ place where you cooked your sukiaki an beef at the table..it is directly across the street from assumption and always had a wait.
the other my mates and I dubbed "green table" (as it had no sign and all the tables had green tops) it was the best open air thai restaurant I ate in the 3 1/2 years I lived there. Just look for the Thai Jerry Garcia looking guy cutting up fresh fish in front. It is on the same side as the school but about 2 blocks closer to Sathorn. I belive it opens at 6pm.
Just throwing that out in case any of you are over that way.
cheers,
atl

atl, that's Sathorn soi 11 also known as St Louis soi 3.
I've eaten at that Korean BBQ you mentioned and the food was good and it is popular as you mention. However the prices are two or three times as much as the usual places like that which are buffet (this isn't), though naturally it's much cheaper than in your own country if you can even find such a place.
But it does look cleaner, is better quality, and it has beef; most of the buffet styles have only pork or chicken though one down Pinkglao past central is big and open air and has beef. As I used to live on Chan Rd. near Sathorn 11 I've often eaten at... Alma... I can't recall the name, it's in Thai--it's a pork BBQ buffet further down St Louis road, with another branch on the next parrallel soi, Yenchit. Eating til I'm stuffed.

Down Soi 22 opposite what used to be Imperial Jade hotel (I thinks its called Park something or other now) There is a little cafe which I don't even think has a name,but it is the only one in that vicinity.
They serve a northern dish called "Gao soi gai" excuse my spelling... It is superb and most of the other stuff on the menu is high quality, and also dirt cheap. Two people's food an ice tea and a big bottle of Singha comes to around 140 baht.

seajohn,
Thats right st louis 3...Thanks
the bbq place was like 600baht for 2 people to eat at with a couple beers, miniscule now but a bit on the pricey side when you compare it to other places.
Being back here though I spend $10 for a f***ing burrito and a beer.
If you are over there, check out "green table" just down the street 2 people can get an awesome meal for 300baht with beers.
cheers all,
atl
