Chief Executive’s Commentary
President and CEO G.J. Hart: «Our results for the second quarter and our reduced guidance for the year are not what we expected when we last communicated in May, with the slowdown experienced in the broader restaurant industry masking the substantial progress we continue to make against our North Star plan. That said, we have seen multiple proof points that indicate the initiatives we implemented over the past 20 months have elevated the guest experience. This is showcased best by guest satisfaction scores increasing to levels Red Robin has not achieved since 2016; comparable restaurant revenue exceeding the industry average during the past 3 months, as measured by Black Box; and traffic growth in line with the industry. In each of the trailing 3 weeks, despite the challenging environment, comparable restaurant revenue has returned to marginally positive. With this progress, we continue to expect to meet or exceed the industry average on traffic through the remainder of the year. Collectively, the actions we are taking and the great feedback we continue to receive from guests and team members, give us confidence we are on the path to long-term success for this beloved brand.» For additional info please read the PDF file below (94 KB):
