BJ's Restaurants

At the Barclays Global Consumer Conference BJ’s Restaurants reported that its operational realignment is producing noticeable improvements: guest traffic rose 8% and revenue increased 6.5%, restaurant margins expanded by 240 basis points and cash flow per restaurant rose substantially. The gains stem from combined measures such as menu revisions, adjustments to the loyalty program, investments in restaurant equipment and AI‑assisted staff scheduling. The company plans a cautious restart of unit growth (1–2 new openings in 2024, a few in 2025) and expects a 90–100 basis‑point margin tailwind in Q3 from easing beef inflation; so far no negative effects from GLP‑1 drugs have been observed. » Mais em de.investing.com
