Outback Steakhouse, renowned for its American twist on Australian barbecue, has found unexpected success in Brazil. The South- American nation is responsible for an astonishing 83% of Bloomin’ Brands’ total international sales. In the first half of 2023 alone, Brazil sales skyrocketed by 61%, foot traffic surged by 42% and the average check jumped by 19.2% compared to the same period in 2022. Those numbers are in stark contrast to Outback’s operations in the United States at 3.9%, -5% and 8.9% respectively. So, what is the secret behind this Australian-inspired steakhouse’s takeover in a country renowned for its own local barbecue culture? Brazil’s burgeoning middle class is one part of the story.
