Texas Roadhouse, Inc. is an operator and franchisor of casual dining restaurants, primarily known for its namesake steakhouse brand. The company's business model centers on providing freshly prepared food at moderate price points, with a distinctive operational focus on dinner-only service during weekdays and expanded hours on weekends to manage labor costs and drive unit volumes.
The flagship Texas Roadhouse concept accounts for the vast majority of the company's revenue (approximately 93%), offering a menu featuring hand-cut steaks, ribs, made-from-scratch sides, and fresh-baked bread. In addition to its core brand, the company operates two other restaurant concepts. Bubba's 33, which contributes around 5% of total revenue, is a family-friendly sports restaurant serving burgers, pizza, and wings. Jaggers, a newer fast-casual concept, focuses on drive-thru and dine-in service for burgers, chicken tenders, and salads. The company generates revenue primarily through company-owned restaurant sales, which make up over 99% of total revenue, while the remainder comes from franchise royalties and fees.
Geographically, Texas Roadhouse operates predominantly in the United States, with a footprint spanning nearly all 50 states. The company also maintains an international presence through franchise agreements in countries across the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Texas Roadhouse competes in the casual dining sector using a decentralized management structure. The company incentivizes local managing partners by requiring an initial deposit and compensating them with a percentage of their specific restaurant's pre-tax income, a model designed to encourage operational efficiency and low manager turnover.
