Texas Roadhouse, Inc., the 10-K for 2025

Texas Roadhouse runs restaurants, mostly in the casual dining segment, under three concepts: Texas Roadhouse, Bubba's 33 and Jaggers. Its late founder, W. Kent Taylor, opened the first Texas Roadhouse in Clarksville, Indiana, in 1993. It was incorporated in Delaware in 2004 and has its principal executive office in Louisville, Kentucky. At December 30, 2025 it had 816 restaurants in 49 states, one U.S. territory and ten foreign countries. Texas Roadhouse and Bubba's 33 are its reportable segments, and Jaggers and its retail initiatives are separate operating segments.

Restaurants

At December 30, 2025 the company owned and operated 714 restaurants: 648 Texas Roadhouse, 56 Bubba's 33 and ten Jaggers. Franchisees ran another 102, of which 36 were domestic Texas Roadhouse, five were domestic Jaggers, 60 were international Texas Roadhouse, including two in a U.S. territory, and one was an international Jaggers.

How it operates

The individual restaurant managers and multi-restaurant operators are called managing partners and market partners. Each signs a multi-year employment agreement, makes a refundable deposit when hired and earns a base salary plus a bonus equal to a percentage of the restaurant's pre-tax income. Prices are reviewed market by market. The company negotiates directly with suppliers for substantially all food and beverage products, and most food reaches its restaurants through national distribution companies. Its restaurants do not rely on national television or print advertising and instead use local media, an email loyalty program, social media and digital marketing.

Franchising

At December 30, 2025 its franchise restaurants were run by 21 franchisees in 15 states, one U.S. territory and ten foreign countries. Its standard domestic Texas Roadhouse franchise agreement runs ten years with two five-year renewal options, and the company was not accepting new domestic Texas Roadhouse franchisees. Internationally it grants area development and franchise agreements.

Competition

The filing describes competition in the restaurant industry as intense. The company competes on taste, quality, price and value, service, atmosphere, location, take-out and delivery and the overall dining experience, against restaurant chains and individual restaurants from independent local operators to national chains, as well as meal kit delivery services and supermarkets.

People

At December 30, 2025 it employed approximately 101,000 people, including 935 executive and administrative personnel and 4,059 restaurant management personnel, with the rest full and part-time hourly restaurant staff. None of its employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
