    Darden has four complex supply chains that differ from companies like Dell or automakers due to Darden's dispersed restaurant model. Ownership of inventory changes hands at different points in each supply chain: 1) At Darden's distribution warehouse for smallwares; 2) At regional distribution centers for frozen/canned foods; 3) Directly from suppliers to restaurants for fresh foods; 4) At distributor warehouses then to restaurants for seafood. Darden addresses the unique challenges of its dispersed model through strategic management of its extensive multi-tiered supply chain network.
