Apparently Cracker Barrel has a travel policy which requires employees to, when possible, eat at their restaurants. While it makes superficial sense--it helps fill tables, and gets key employees actually looking at how the restaurant works in real life--it also prevents employees from doing informal "market research" to see how competitors stack up against them. We might also joke that it will raise the cardiology bills for the company's insurance policies.
Really, it's a tough, tough market out there in restaurants, and it probably doesn't help to isolate employees from the broader markets. But cardiologists might approve.
