Investors haven't had much to celebrate in Dave & Buster's (NASDAQ: PLAY) last few earnings reports. The restaurant chain's customer traffic is declining, and that challenge weighed enough on the business to push sales into negative territory in each of the last two quarters. That slump is also challenging shareholders' confidence that management has the right rebound strategy in place for today's ultra-competitive industry conditions.
There should be more clarity on that turnaround plan when Dave & Buster's announces third-quarter earnings results on Tuesday, Dec. 10. Below, we'll look at the key metrics to watch in that announcement.
