Situation Overview
Same Store Sales declined as the brand lapped periods with significant promotional and discounting
activities (BOGOs, coupons, etc.)
Adjusted EBITDA declined due to a combination of lower sales year-over-year, higher occupancy costs
and rising beef costs, which impacted all protein-centric casual dining brands
Financial Results
Assembled a management team with the experience and capability to execute a successful turnaround
Bolstered key areas including operations, marketing, finance and IT
Management
Improved beef quality and food preparation
Implemented training to enhance service and improve guest experience
Replaced BOGOs and discount coupons with LTOs that convey unmatched everyday value
Significant improvement in OSAT scores as a direct result of recent strategic initiatives
Recent
Accomplishments
Return to our Roadhouse roots by delivering the highest level of guest experience with consistent, high-
quality menu items in an engaging, come-as-you-are environment
Vision for The
Brand
Reduced cash interest burden frees up capital to accelerate strategy with accretive investments (e.g.
restaurant remodels and marketing initiatives) and de-risks the turnaround
Liquidity / Capital

Understanding Our Past is Critical to Plotting Our Roadhouse Vision
Founded on the principles of
offering something for everyone at
an exceptional value, all delivered
in a laid-back, fun environment
Logan’s is the Real American
Roadhouse™, an oasis for weary
travelers
Creating craveable food from high-
quality ingredients
Engages the spirit with distinctive
music and an upbeat vibe that re-
energizes people
Your local stop for renewal
Brand positioned inconsistently
since its founding
Reduced quality to cut costs
Reliance on discounting reduced
margins, attracted less loyal
customers and failed to drive
adequate traffic
De-emphasis on liquor, beer and
wine (“LBW”)
Casual dining homogenization
Mimicked leading chains by offering
expansive, unimaginative and
generic causal dining menu
offerings
A return to our roots by better
defining the signature Logan’s
experience
Menu that appeals to existing and
new customers alike
Focus on authentic roadhouse
cooking
Focus on beverage –
the right
drink, any occasion
Redefining the traditional Logan’s
“Roadhouse” atmosphere
Our Founding DNA
Migration to
“Sea of Sameness”
Path Forward

Implemented Initiatives to Meaningfully Improve Guest Experience
In Q3 2015 we upgraded the beef program to serve USDA
Midwest beef in order to meet core customer expectations
$1.5 million or 25 bps annual investment in COGS to improve
steak OSAT scores
Reduced the number of menu items to remove complexity in
kitchen, improving finished plate quality while reducing wait time
for guests
In March 2015, we implemented a strategy to improve
communication, reduce hourly management turnover and provide
consistency for guests
From April to August 2015, we implemented initiatives to reduce
span of control at division and regional levels to facilitate
management discipline and monitoring
Implemented
PeopleMatter
systems
to
improve
hiring,
onboarding,
training and performance
Developed “Grill Master” program to enhance skills of our chefs
and improve food quality
Reduced labor hours per 100 guests from ~44.5 in 2014 to ~43.0
in 2015 while increasing guest overall satisfaction in the process

Implementation of higher quality beef and an investment in the
“Grill Master” training program has led to:
500 bps improvement in taste of food
600 bps improvement in tenderness of steak
500 bps improvement in “doneness” of steak
400 bps improvement in temperature of food
Results: Improvement in OSAT Scores is a Strong Leading Indicator for Future Traffic Growth

Elimination of Deep Discounting
BOGOs have been replaced with a
strategy to provide great food at an
everyday value
Despite near term sales benefits,
BOGOs do not drive margin or
customer satisfaction
Near-term sales gains are offset by
brand erosion
Server attentiveness falls during
BOGO weeks due to smaller tips, and
service suffers as a result
OSAT scores fall during BOGO
weeks
Recent initiatives are starting to pay 
dividends as we are selling more full-
priced meals per week relative to the
previous year, an indication that we
are attracting higher quality guests
Reduced discounts represent a $0.52

Domestic Beef Supply
Cattle Price
System wide roll-out of simplified menu with diversified protein offering helps shift focus away from high cost beef through
offering attractive new menu items
Lower volatility through opportunistic commodity contracts will lock in a deflationary food cost plan for 2016
A 75% fixed price agreement on ribeye and sirloins will bring stability and lower prices starting next spring, which is expected
to result in an EBITDA benefit of $2.4 million over the next 12 months
Lower prices on seafood have been locked in through September 2016
Improving trends in the cattle market
Slaughter is forecasted to increase in 2016 after 8 years of consistent declines
Heifers are still being held back which is a continued sign of herd expansion signaling better supply for 2017 and 2018

Supplier Contract Renegotiation Cost Savings
Alix
Partners has identified ~$12 million of cost savings opportunities, including ~$9 million from supplier contract
renegotiations
We have either implemented or have RFPs with initial indications for all cost savings opportunities listed
In addition, Alix
Partners has identified ~$3 million of cost savings from tiered LBW pricing
Notably successful results are approved or expected in beef, poultry, shrimp and packaging
Developing reporting dashboards and improving contract administration to sustain cost saving initiatives
Alix
Partners’ work is ongoing, and they will continue to monitor and track performance to savings targets
