When P.F. Chang’s CEO Jim Mazany took the job last year, he was confronted with a big problem: People were mostly ordering the chain’s Chinese food for takeout instead of dining in.

“Not only were we competing with other restaurant brands, we were competing with people’s couches,” Mazany told CNN. “People were not leaving their homes to want to come to a P.F. Chang’s.”
