About Texas Roadhouse, Inc.
About Texas Roadhouse, Inc.
Texas Roadhouse expanded its system-wide footprint to 816 restaurants across 49 states, one U.S. territory, and 10 foreign countries by December 30, 2025, with 714 company-owned and 102 franchised units spanning three concepts: Texas Roadhouse (648 company units), Bubba's 33 (56 company units), and Jaggers (10 company units). Texas is the largest single-state footprint at 108 total units, followed by Ohio (40) and Indiana (39). All 61 international restaurants operate under franchise arrangements.
Texas Roadhouse earns revenue almost entirely from company-operated casual dining restaurants, where guests pay at point-of-sale for dine-in and to-go orders. The model emphasizes everyday value through moderate price points and generous portions, targeting a broad consumer demographic without reliance on national advertising. Managing partners receive base salaries plus a percentage of each restaurant's pre-tax income, tying operator compensation directly to restaurant-level profitability and requiring refundable deposits — a structural retention mechanism. Beef is the dominant food cost driver, purchased primarily from four U.S.- and Canada-based suppliers that represent a significant share of the total beef marketplace; in 2025, higher-than-normal commodity inflation specifically relating to beef pressured restaurant margin, and the company anticipates these elevated cost conditions continuing into 2026. Alcoholic beverages contributed 8.8% of restaurant sales in 2025, supported by $5 all-day every-day beer and margarita specials.
Show full overview
Texas Roadhouse identifies approximately 21% of its company restaurants in Texas (101 units) and Florida (50 units) as a discrete geographic concentration, with both states subject to state-mandated minimum and tipped wage changes that could directly affect operating costs across a material share of the portfolio. Full-service casual dining is structurally labor-intensive — each restaurant maintains a managing partner, two to four managers, plus product and service coaches — meaning any upward wage mandate in Texas or Florida could weigh on restaurant-level margins in a configuration the company cannot easily relocate or reformat.
