July 19 (Reuters) - Restaurant Group  RTN.L , the owner
of Wagamama restaurants and Frankie & Benny's, said on Wednesday
it was on track to deliver on its annual expectations, helped by
strong dine-out sales in the second quarter despite a hit from
hot weather conditions.
    Total like-for-like sales at its Wagamama noodle chain rose
5% in the quarter ended July 2, the company said, adding that
four new Wagamama sites launched this year were trading ahead of
its expectations.
