“Once again, we’re honored to be included on the FORTUNE list,†said Clarence Otis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Darden. “In a service-oriented business like ours, often times the difference between a good guest experience and a great one is the discretionary effort of our employees. That’s why we make a promise to every one of our employees that what you do, who you are, what you learn, and who you’re with, matters.
