The earnings call highlighted some positive developments such as the strong performance of Keke's Breakfast Cafe, improvements in off-premise sales, and a new loyalty program launch. However, these were offset by challenges including a decline in same-restaurant sales, increased product costs, and a volatile consumer environment.

Company Guidance

During the Denny's Corporation Second Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company discussed a range of metrics and strategies aimed at navigating a challenging consumer environment. Despite facing a negative 1.3% in system-wide same-restaurant sales, Denny's saw a 170 basis point improvement from Q1. The company highlighted its focus on profitable traffic-driving initiatives, such as the buy-one-get-one Slam for $1 deal and the introduction of 4 Slams under $10, which collectively drove significant traffic and engaged new and lapsed users. Off-premise sales contributed positively, improving same-restaurant sales by 1.5% during the quarter, supported by digital investments and a new points-based loyalty program. Denny's closed underperforming restaurants, enhancing franchise health and increasing average unit volumes by 5%. Keke's Breakfast Cafe, Denny's growth brand, reported a strong 4% same-restaurant sales increase, driven by initiatives like alcohol offerings and off-premise sales, and expanded into new markets such as Nashville and Dallas. The guidance for full year 2025 was reiterated, with expectations for low-end same-restaurant sales growth driven by continued digital enhancements, remodels, and loyalty program launches. The company remains focused on strategic initiatives and cost savings to mitigate inflation pressures and boost margins.

Improved Off-Premise Sales

Off-premise sales contributed a 1.5% improvement in same-restaurant sales during Q2, attributed to investments in digital which increased website traffic, improved conversion rates, and more effective promotions on third-party platforms.

Positive Performance of Keke's Breakfast Cafe

Keke's delivered strong second quarter same-restaurant sales of positive 4%, significantly outperforming the BBI Family Dining Index in Florida by over 220 basis points.

Loyalty Program Launch

A new points-based loyalty program is set to launch in the back half of the year, expected to drive 50 to 100 basis points in traffic over time.

Company Margin Improvement Efforts

Margin improvement initiatives identified savings opportunities expected to deliver up to 200 basis points of savings over the next 12 to 18 months.
