Texas Roadhouse forecasts 6%-7% commodity inflation for 2026, down from 7%. The company plans approximately 35 openings this year, with 9 expected in Q2. Q1 2026 saw a revenue increase to over $1.6 billion, driven by a 7.1% rise in same-store sales. The restaurant margin decreased to 16.3% due to food cost pressures, while cash flow from operations reached $259 million. Management remains optimistic about traffic and sales, despite challenges in the beef supply chain.
