Texas Roadhouse expansion and delivery

In late July 2026, Texas Roadhouse began a limited test of first‑party food delivery in select markets, aiming to capture growing off‑premise demand. The pilot leveraged a new digital kitchen system and followed a modest rise in off‑premise sales, which had reached about 14.6 % of weekly revenue.

A week later, the chain reported a strong sales surge driven by newly opened restaurants. Locations operating for less than six months posted a 10.4 % increase in average weekly sales, while overall comparable sales rose 6.2 % and quarterly revenue climbed 11.1 % to roughly $1.68 billion. Texas Roadhouse expanded its footprint to 832 restaurants, including 62 overseas sites, and continued to rely on local marketing, community engagement, and technology upgrades such as table‑side payment and the digital kitchen platform.

Together, the snapshots illustrate Texas Roadhouse’s multi‑pronged growth strategy: testing delivery to meet off‑premise consumer expectations while simultaneously expanding its restaurant base and enhancing operational technology.
