As well as this 0.6% decrease, the restaurant company reported a net income of $6m, compared to $6.9m for the same period in the previous year.

Restaurant-level operating profit decreased to 19.3%, compared to 20.8% from the previous year.

“We did not execute as well as we know we are capable of, particularly at critical peak demand hours.”

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers chief executive officer Denny Marie Post said: “As stated in our pre-release, we were disappointed with our second quarter top line sales and declines in dine-in traffic.

“We did not execute as well as we know we are capable of, particularly at critical peak demand hours when we must be prepared to serve dine-in guests and our rapidly growing off premise demand.
