Company overview and growth strategy
Operates over 600 daytime-only restaurants focused on breakfast, brunch, and lunch, with a reputation for fresh, high-quality ingredients and no deep fryers or microwaves.
Achieved low double-digit unit growth for several years, entering five new markets in the past year and maintaining leadership in daytime dining.
New unit sales performance has consistently exceeded internal targets, with 2025 new openings performing 19% above underwriting targets.
Growth pipeline remains robust, with plans to expand in both new and core markets, including the Sun Belt and Mid-Atlantic regions.
Strategic market entries are balanced with continued development in established areas, leveraging operational efficiency as markets mature.
Menu, marketing, and guest experience initiatives
Launched a new core menu for the first time in 10 years, following extensive testing, alongside five seasonal menus annually.
Expanded digital marketing initiatives from one-third to 75% of the system in 2026, leveraging consumer and third-party data for targeted campaigns.
Investments in guest experience included increased portion sizes and digital guest-facing tools to reduce friction.
Continued focus on operational technology and menu simplification to enhance both customer and employee experiences in 2026.
Operational improvements in recent years have enabled record-setting peak sales hours and strong new restaurant performance.
Financial outlook and pricing strategy
2026 guidance includes same-restaurant sales comps up 1%-3%, with no price increase taken in January and a mid-year review planned.
Pricing philosophy is conservative, aiming to cover only permanent inflation and maintain value for consumers, having taken about 15% less price than peers since 2019.
Store margins for 2026 expected to be flat, with commodity inflation guided at 1%-3% and labor inflation at 3%-5%.
Commodity basket for 2026 expects deflation in eggs and avocados, but inflation in bacon and coffee, with coffee costs elevated due to premium sourcing.
Focus remains on driving frequency and value through experience and quality rather than discounting.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
