What Texas Roadhouse does

Casual-dining steakhouse chain known for hand-cut steaks, made-from-scratch sides and a high-energy dining experience.

Earns mostly from meals sold in restaurants it owns, with franchised restaurants adding royalties. Prices are kept below many casual-dining rivals, so profit depends on high customer traffic and tight cost control, with beef the largest food cost. Founded in Louisville, Kentucky, by Kent Taylor.
