Risk factors and legal proceedings

Legal proceedings

In the ordinary course of our business, we are a party to various lawsuits arising from accidents at our restaurants and workers’ compensation claims, which are generally handled by our insurance carriers.

Our employment of management personnel, waiters, waitresses and kitchen staff at a number of different restaurants has resulted in the institution, from time to time, of litigation alleging violation by us of employment discrimination laws. We do not believe that any of such suits will have a material adverse effect upon us, our financial condition or operations.

For a discussion of legal matters as of September 27, 2025, please see Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated by reference into this item.
