The new and improved Darden LongHorn Restaurant site was designed to provide
individuals who use Casual Dining Restaurants frequently, and are familiar with
many different types of cuisines. The last site refresh was in late 2007 while
the Darden brand positioning were still in the works of being finalized. This
new LongHorn Restaurant site looks and feels more reflective of road house vs.
ranch house. The LongHorn menu is inspired by the passion for grilling of the
American West and offers the best quality steaks, fresh fish, seafood, chicken
and grilled vegetables. The guests are able to use this site functionally and
the “our menu” tab helps gives a nice intro to what the restaurant is about.
The restaurant locator feature is another one of the most visited sections on
the new site, giving the guests the opportunity to find the nearest restaurant
when necessary. The brand leverages the website to announce all upcoming
promotions and limited content images are updated with each promotion, about
six times each year. Access to the menu pricing is the latest feature and makes
sure the guests come to enjoy the full experience with no chance of surprise.
When Darden guests visit LongHorn’s, they are not only motivate by fulfilling a
craving, but also by the natural and ordinary ambiance the locations have to
offer.
