Profile
Operates and franchises a predominantly company-owned North American restaurant system. The menu centers on gourmet burgers, Bottomless Steak Fries and sides, while the business depends on restaurant operations, franchise relationships and guest traffic.
Operates and franchises casual-dining restaurants in North America, with a predominantly company-owned base across the United States and franchise restaurants in the United States and Canada. The guest offer centers on gourmet burgers, Bottomless Steak Fries and sides in a fun setting for guests of all ages.
Restaurant execution drives the model: the company has simplified its menu, adjusted management-labor structures and negotiated leases while working to improve guest experience, traffic, costs and restaurant performance through its First Choice plan. The company-owned base has been reduced as the program includes restaurant remediation.
Performance depends on consistent restaurant operations, franchise relationships, guest demand, lease arrangements and the execution of the current transformation. Fiscal years end on the last Sunday of the calendar year.
