Earnings Call Sentiment|Negative
The call presented a mixed picture: meaningful operational and strategic progress in retail/CPG expansion, strong Costco gift card growth and continued unit expansion were offset by material near-term weaknesses — a significant same-store sales decline, deteriorating margins, large quarterly and annual net losses, one-time impairment charges, and a thin cash position. Management provided constructive 2026 guidance and a path to improved margins, but current financial performance and liquidity constraints are notable risks.Company Guidance
CPG (Retail) Early Traction and Aggressive Growth Plan
Expanded CPG distribution from initial Southern California test to over 800 supermarket locations in early 2026; targeting 1,500–2,000 locations by end of 2026 and 7,000–8,000 by end of 2027. Company projects a potential run rate >$100 million annual retail revenue within ~3 years and estimates retail EBITDA margins in the high teens (after slotting/promotional costs). Management expects retail revenue of roughly $10 million in 2026 and working toward a $20 million run rate by year-end.
Strong Costco Gift Card Performance
Sold approximately $29 million in Costco gift cards during 2025, a 150% increase over the prior year, cited as a major contributor to brand reach and retail momentum.
New Store Openings and Unit Count Growth
Opened 15 restaurants in 2025 (including six in South Korea) for a total of 57 restaurants in operation; opened two additional restaurants in Q1 2026. Several locations (5) under construction with potential for 1–2 more in late 2026/early 2027.
High Average Unit Volume
Reported AUV (average unit volume) remains above $5 million per restaurant, described by management as an elite level in the casual dining space despite same-store traffic softness.
Operational and Strategic Initiatives
Launched GEN loyalty program, new e-commerce site, acceptance of cryptocurrency, tested new beverage SKUs (boba/soju), started digital platform initiative and an AI program to improve corporate efficiencies and reduce overhead; entered joint venture with Chubby Cattle to recapitalize five underperforming restaurants (49%/51% ownership) expected to create profitable units and future EBITDA share.
2026 Financial Targets and Revenue Guidance
Management guided 2026 revenue of $215 million to $225 million and aims for restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA margins of 15% to 15.5%; targeting an annual run rate approaching $250 million by end of 2026.
