Sales Pressure: Fourth-quarter revenue fell to $49.7 million from $54.6 million a year earlier, as same-store sales dropped 11.6% and management blamed weaker traffic tied to immigration enforcement pressure and higher fuel costs.
Cost Inflation: Restaurant costs rose across food, labor, occupancy, and overhead, and the company responded with a $1 menu price increase in early 2026, equal to about a 2.5% overall price increase.
Profit Hit: Fourth-quarter net loss before income taxes widened to $12.5 million, while full-year adjusted EBITDA fell to $0.7 million from $13.3 million in 2024.
Growth Reset: Management said 2026 restaurant growth will slow meaningfully as the company focuses on existing stores, margin improvement, and grocery-store expansion.
Retail Push: The new CPG grocery business is being scaled quickly, with management saying 2026 retail revenue should be around $10 million and long-term goals call for a $100 million-plus annual run rate.
Capital Return: The company expects five non-performing restaurants to be run through a joint venture with Chubby Cattle, creating a $4.5 million write-down but aiming for better future profitability.
