Problem Solved
If the idea of bottomless burgers sounds enticing to you, Red Robin has an exciting opportunity for you to take advantage of.
Red Robin announced Monday it has launched the Bottomless Burger Pass. For just $20, customers who purchase the pass will receive a black-and-gold card in the mail that earns them the right to a burger and a bottomless side of fries every day for the month of May, which is National Burger Month.
The passes go on sale April 17 at 9 a.m. MT/11 a.m. ET, and the company said in a news release that only a limited quantity will be available, so customers are encouraged to act quickly. There is a limit of one card per customer. The passes can be purchased at RedRobin.com/National-Burger-Month.
Customers can use the card May 1-31, however substitutions, additions or premium sides may result in an additional charge, the burger chain said. If used every day, the card has a total potential value of up to $682, according to Red Robin.
For those who aren't able to secure a Bottomless Burger Pass, Red Robin Royalty members will have the chance to win free burgers for a year.
The company said Royalty members will be automatically entered to win along with other prizes by purchasing both a burger and a beverage while logged into their account during the month of May at participating Red Robin restaurants, on RedRobin.com or the Red Robin mobile app.
New members who join the program in May will be automatically entered to win, and a total of 12 winners will be selected at random, the chain said in a news release.
Red Robin also unveils limited-time summer menu
In addition to the Bottomless Burger Pass, Red Robin also announced a new limited-time summer menu that will be available beginning April 28 at all U.S. locations and June 9 at locations in Canada.

Project Self, which helps county low-income students get foot in the door, turns 30
It was more than two decades ago now, but Jesus Felix still remembers making the drive from Santa Ana to Newport Beach before his senior year of high school. Felix had been given a paid internship at Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, a law firm near Fashion Island, through Project Youth OC's Project Self program. The location was just a few miles away, but it was a different world for Felix, who grew up in a two-bedroom home with 17 relatives and often slept on the floor. He would walk to lunch at his new job, which also provided different experiences. 'When I got there and I was there for a while now, they were like, 'Let's go to Red Robin. It's across the street,'' Felix recalled. 'I was like, Red Robin? What is that? They were just like, 'Where is this guy from?'' Felix did more than fit in, he thrived. He bought a futon bed with his first paycheck, and gave $100 to his mom for groceries. He worked hard and the Newport Beach firm offered him a part-time job after the internship was over. Felix may have had to borrow a tie from the neighbor down the street for his internship interview, but he ended up with the firm for 15 years, eventually being promoted to accounting supervisor. 'That program just changed everything for me,' said Felix, now 39, married and the father of two children. He bought a house not far from Diamond Elementary, Carr Intermediate and Valley High, all the schools he attended growing up. He was the keynote speaker at the recent Project Self graduation and 30-year anniversary celebration, held at The Turnup Rose in Costa Mesa. That's the city where Felix now works. He moved over to another law firm, Latham & Watkins LLP, in 2018 where he is the firm's billing supervisor. Laura Marcum, the executive director at Project Youth OC, smiles and laughs as she hears about Felix's journey. 'The stories like Jesus, there are several where the transformation is incredible,' Marcum said. 'Because the organization has existed for 55 years, we're able to see that generational impact, that ripple effect of, 'where are they now?'' Project Self still works with county law firms but now seeks to pair students with other corporations as well. Marcum said there's been a long-standing tie with the Santa Ana Unified School District. This year, for the first time in the 30-year history, the program also expanded to offer placements to Anaheim Union High School District students and Newport-Mesa Unified School District students. She said that Project Youth OC is prevention focused and family-centered. 'We are helping youth develop a sense of agency,' said Marcum, who joined the organization last year following the departure of longtime executive director Karen Ruan. 'We're empowering them. We're not spoon-feeding or hand-holding anyone, we are opening doors and then ensuring that they are guided and confident enough to walk through them with their head held high. We want them to feel a sense of dignity, a sense of accomplishment.' Those who wish to become internship partners, volunteer or donate can visit Felix tells everyone that he doesn't know where he would be without Project Self, which this year partnered with 37 law firm that took on 43 interns. 'The community needs help,' he said. 'Programs like this, they go a long way. They really do. It's not that our parents don't push us, it's more like, 'Hey, I'm working, you've got to figure out what you need to do.' 'This thing just opened a lot of doors. And the relationships I've built throughout my years? I mean, I can send an email right now to a CFO, to directors, and they're there. They know who I am. That's something crazy to think about.' The Latham & Watkins office is on the 20th floor of a large building. Go up one more floor and there's a conference room. Even on a hazy weekday morning, Felix can look across and see the buildings of Fashion Island, where he got his start. 'The cars down there, I'd go to lunch and see a Ferrari, a Bentley,' Felix said. 'I would take my friends to Fashion Island on my days off, on the weekends. 'I'd be like, 'Hey, let's go to Fashion Island, there's a Red Robin over there, man.''

Red Robin steps up its investments to drive traffic and fix restaurants
You can find original article here Nrn. Subscribe to our free daily Nrn newsletter. Red Robin reported a decline in total revenues, same-store sales, and traffic in the second quarter reported Wednesday after market, but its stock rose by double digits, nonetheless. Analysts are optimistic about the traffic-driving initiatives put into place when Dave Pace was named chief executive officer in April, as well as the company's profit increase and investment targets. In the second quarter, total revenues were $283.7 million versus $300.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024. Same-store sales declined 3.2%, including a 5.5% decline in guest traffic. That said, Red Robin's sharpened focus on operational efficiencies, including labor improvements, drove a 280-basis-point improvement in restaurant-level profit margin during the second quarter. 'Our operators have become much more disciplined in managing through a labor matrix,' Pace said. 'That involves being confident and more accurate in their forecasting and then scheduling against their forecasting, which they've done effectively.' The $9.99 Yummm value deal, launched in July, has shown early signs of progress toward Pace's goal of driving positive traffic. The company had previously been reluctant to join the value conversation, but Pace said it is important to respond to the dynamics of the marketplace, including consumers looking for such deals. 'The first step in building these layers was to address our weak competitive positioning and price point value offers. As we surveyed the competitive landscape, it was abundantly clear that price pointed value offerings under $10 are essential to help break through the noise to drive trial and consideration in today's environment,' he said. 'The Big Yummm Deal has been thoughtfully structured to offer trade-up opportunities like extra burger patties, bacon, avocado, or upgraded sides and beverages designed to help mitigate check pressure while still delivering strong value to guests.' Chief financial officer Todd Wilson said about 9% of guests are ordering the Big Yummm deal. 'Which, from our lens, is a great thing,' he said. 'It means people see the promotion, they see the value in it, and they're choosing that option.' To further drive traffic, Red Robin is rolling out proprietary, microtargeting tools in the third quarter to engage guests 'more personally, precisely, and efficiently' than traditional broad-based messaging. Pace said this strategy is critical for Red Robin to compete with larger, more resourced brands. 'Our approach will leverage these proprietary analytics that will help level the playing field at the restaurant level in a highly efficient manner,' he said. As part of Pace's 'First Choice' plan, Red Robin has also created a 'Find Money' initiative, which has helped bolster EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) in the first half of the year, providing incremental capital to further invest in the company's priority projects, such as driving traffic, marketing, and deferred maintenance. The company is piloting refreshes, for instance, including flooring and furniture updates, at about 20 restaurants in four markets to learn where to best invest in capital. In the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA was $22.4 million, marking an increase of $8.8 million versus the second quarter of 2024. From its 'Find Money' initiative, Red Robin projects a $3 million to $4 million benefit to G&A this year. Notably, Red Robin plans to close fewer restaurants than it previously guided to earlier this year. After evaluating approximately 70 locations, Pace said about 20 locations have been removed from the potential closure list because of improved performance and profitability, adding that more could come. 'We've got a watch list of restaurants we're still working on (and) hope we can move even more off of that list, and we're seeing improved performance,' he said. Red Robin expects total revenue of approximately $1.2 billion for the full year, down from its prior guidance of $1.21 billion to $1.23 billion, with the expectation that same-store sales will decline 3% to 4% in the second half.
