Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is the parent company for Red Robin International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, that together with its subsidiaries ("Red Robin," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), primarily operates, franchises, and develops casual dining restaurants in North America. As of April 19, 2026, the Company owned and operated 379 restaurants located in 39 states. The Company also had 90 casual dining restaurants operated by franchisees in 13 states and one Canadian province. The Company operated its business as one operating and one reportable segment. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Red Robin and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Red Robin have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 28, 2025 has been derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures required for audited annual financial statements. For further information, please refer to and read these interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2026. Our current, prior, and upcoming fiscal year periods, period end dates, and number of weeks included in each period are summarized in the table below:

Reclassifications Certain amounts presented have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s consolidated results. We made adjustments to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to include repayments of finance lease obligations within proceeds (uses) from other financing activities, net, and to separately disclose the following captions: to disaggregate gift card breakage from the change in unearned revenue; and to disaggregate amortization of debt issuance costs from other, net. Stock-based Compensation Awards Granted During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company issued 789,381 phantom award units under its 2024 Performance Incentive Plan Phantom Unit (Phantom RSU) Award Agreement, valued at $3.12 per unit. These awards vest over two to three years and have a service based vesting condition. The Company also issued 361,082 phantom award units under its 2024 Performance Incentive Plan Phantom Unit (Phantom PSU) Award Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, valued at $3.12 per unit. These awards vest over three years and have performance based and service based vesting conditions. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company issued 100,000 cash-settled stock appreciation rights under its 2024 Performance Incentive Plan Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR) Award Agreement, valued at $4.05 per award. These awards vest over one year and have performance based and service based vesting conditions. Finally, the Company also issued 250,000 restricted stock units under its 2024 Performance Incentive Plan Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) Award Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, valued at $3.12 per unit. These awards vest over one year and have a service based vesting condition. The phantom award units and the cash-settled stock appreciation rights are liability-classified awards and are included within other non-current liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Restricted Stock Units are equity-classified awards and are included within paid-in capital on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Recently Issued and Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which included amendments intended to clarify, improve, and correct various sections of the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments addressed a variety of topics, including earnings per share, equity, leases, revenue recognition, credit losses, and other areas, and are primarily intended to improve the consistency and clarity of existing guidance without significantly changing current accounting practice. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-12 on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements to clarify and improve the guidance in ASC 270 regarding interim reporting. ASU 2025-11 improved the navigability of the guidance, clarifying when the interim reporting guidance applies, and specifying the disclosures and form and content requirements for interim financial statements and accompanying notes under GAAP. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-11 on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) to introduce a principles-based framework for capitalizing costs related to the development of internal-use software. ASU 2025-06 also incorporates website development costs into the internal-use software guidance and enhances related disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2025-06 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 which expands disclosures about specific expense categories presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2024-03 on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Tax Legislation On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for specific business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with some provisions taking effect in 2025 and others phased in through 2027. In accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, the effects of changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. The OBBBA did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
