The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (CAKE)

収益の仕組み

Almost all revenue comes from food and beverages sold at company-operated restaurants, recognised when the meal is served, plus a smaller stream from wholesale bakery sales and royalties on the roughly 30 restaurants run abroad by international licensees. Because restaurants are large, full-service and staff-intensive, profitability depends heavily on managing labour and food-ingredient costs, which move independently of the menu prices the company can charge.

セグメント別売上高

The Cheesecake Factory brand generates the highest average unit volume of any major U.S. restaurant chain — roughly $12.5 million per restaurant, well above casual-dining peers such as Maggiano's or Yard House — because its size and menu breadth draw consistent traffic. That advantage is tied to one mature brand, though, and does not automatically extend to the newer concepts the company has been adding.

Full-service, sit-down dining is discretionary spending that households cut back on first when budgets tighten, so traffic and average check both feel the effect of a weaker economy. Growth increasingly comes from opening new restaurants across the brand portfolio rather than from more visits to existing ones, which ties results to real-estate availability and construction costs as much as to consumer demand.

主なリスク

• Labor cost inflation — Labor expenses, including restaurant-level staff and bakery production, were 35.0% of revenue in fiscal 2025. Minimum wage increases, labor organizing and changes in employment law can push this cost higher.
• Commodity and supply chain cost volatility — Where commodities are not locked in by contract, their prices can swing significantly, and the company's reliance on fresh, perishable ingredients with rapid turnover makes it especially exposed to supply disruptions.
• Macroeconomic and geopolitical pressure on costs and demand — The company states that ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic events, including trade and tariff dynamics, could drive further wage and cost inflation, disrupt its supply chain, and shift consumer spending away from dining out.
