Actually if I understand the franchise model correctly, Trader Vic's the corporation (or rather NUBECO LLC) doesn't lose money on the investment, it's the unfortunate franchise owner that does. :(

Has the time really past for Trader Vic's (as a restaurant) ?? Maybe the future is to leverage their brand soley as a bar/lounge and just serve appetizers. If so in this New Cocktailian age, they need to ditch (or upgrade) their well rum.
