Outback Steakhouse parent company Bloomin&rsquo; Brands is unveiling its new fast-casual sandwich concept Aussie Grill by Outback in Tampa, Florida next month, <a href="https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/operations/outback-tries-fast-casual-spinoff?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=outback-to-open-fast-casual-spinoff-2709547" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">according to a recent Restaurant Business article</a>. 

Per the article, Aussie Grill by Outback was originally conceived as an international growth vehicle for Bloomin&rsquo; Brands through franchising, but the brand has decided to open locations in the Tampa market &ldquo;to monitor and fine-tune the concept as needed,&rdquo; a spokeswoman for Bloomin&rsquo; said in an email to Restaurant Business. &ldquo;The fast-casual service model allows franchisees to operate in a smaller footprint, with lower investment while still serving high-quality food.&rdquo;

There are several interesting aspects to Aussie Grill, including a four-day workweek for the general manager of the concept as advertised on the concept&rsquo;s job posting for the role, the article notes.

The recent string of full-service restaurants creating spinoffs with smaller footprints and more streamlined menus, <a href="https://chicago.eater.com/2017/2/13/14599872/hooters-casual-restaurant-hoot-open-menu-chicago-suburbs-cicero?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=outback-to-open-fast-casual-spinoff-2709547" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Hooters</a> and <a href="https://www.restaurantbusinessonline.com/operations/cheesecake-factory-sets-timetable-new-growth-concepts?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=outback-to-open-fast-casual-spinoff-2709547" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Cheesecake Factory</a> among them, is indicative of a changing restaurant landscape that other operators, franchise brands included, should take note of.
