AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Forward-Looking Information
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements about the business, financial condition and prospects of BT Brands, Inc. and its wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Company”"Company"). Forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “estimates,” “should,” “plans,” “targets,” “intends,” “could,” “would,” “anticipates,” “potential,” “confident,” “optimistic”"believes," "projects," "expects," "may," "estimates," "should," "plans," "targets," "intends," "could," "would," "anticipates," "potential," "confident," "optimistic" or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon, or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy, objectives, estimates, guidance, expectations, and future plans. Forward-looking statements can also be identified by the fact these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties.
While the Company believes the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances such expectations will prove to be accurate. Security holders are cautioned such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Certain factors may cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by theYou should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report. Suchreport in the context of the factors that could cause outcomes to differ materially from our expectations. These factors include, but are not limited to:
· | capital requirements and the availability of capital to fund our growth and to service our existing bank debt; | |
· | difficulties executing our growth strategy, including completing profitable acquisitions; | |
· | our anticipated use of the net proceeds from this offering; | |
· | economic uncertainties and business interruptions resulting from the coronavirus global pandemic and its aftermath; | |
· | following the global pandemic, it will be difficult for us to maintain recent sales gains, and we will likely experience a decline in comparable-store sales; | |
· | all risks of acquiring an existing restaurant business, including identifying a suitable target, completing comprehensive due diligence, the impact on our financial condition of the debt we may incur in acquiring the target, and the ability to integrate the target's operations with our existing operations, our ability to retain management and key employees of the target, among other factors attendant to acquisitions; | |
· | difficulties in increasing restaurant revenue and comparable restaurant sales; | |
· | challenges related to hiring and retaining store employees at competitive wage rates; | |
· | our failure to prevent food safety and foodborne illness incidents; | |
· | shortages or interruptions in the supply or delivery of food products; | |
· | our dependence on a small number of suppliers and a single distribution company; | |
· | negative publicity relating to any one of our restaurants; | |
· | competition from other restaurant chains with significantly greater resources than we have; | |
· | changes in consumer tastes and nutritional and dietary trends; | |
· | our inability to manage our growth; | |
· | our inability to maintain an adequate level of cash flow, or access to capital, to meet growth expectations; | |
· | changes in management, loss of key personnel, or an inability to attract, hire, integrate and retain skilled personnel; | |
· | labor shortages and increased labor costs; | |
· | our vulnerability to increased food, commodity, and energy costs; | |
· | the impact of governmental laws and regulation; | |
· | failure to obtain and maintain required licenses and permits to comply with food control regulations; | |
· | changes in economic conditions and adverse weather and other unforeseen conditions, especially in the north-central United States where most of our restaurants currently are located; | |
· | protecting our intellectual property or breaches of security of confidential information. |

From time to time, oral or written forward-looking statements are also included in our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and regulatory developments (1) related8-K, our Schedule 14A, our press releases and other materials released to the COVID-19 pandemic, which includepublic. Although we believe that at the time made, the expectations reflected in all of these forward-looking statements are and will be reasonable, any or all of the forward-looking statements may prove to be incorrect.

However, your attention is directed to any further disclosures made on related subjects in our subsequent periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2021.

· | Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. | |
· | Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the entire term of the asset or liability. | |
· | Level 3 Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to fair value measurement in its entirety.
The carrying values of cash, receivables, accounts payable and other financial working capital items approximate fair value due to the short maturity nature of these instruments.
Equity investments in marketable securities are carried at fair value. At April 3, 2022, the $6,745 reduction from cost to fair value was not considered material and is included in general and administrative expenses. On April 3, 2022, the cost of marketable securities consisted of a single Nasdaq-listed level-one security with a cost of $260,845. This investment is reflected in the accompanying financial statements at April 3, 2022, at the level-one fair value quoted in an active market of $254,100.

NOTE 7 – LEASES
Concurrent with the acquisition of Keegan's assets, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 2,800 square feet of space the restaurant occupies. The terms of the 131-month lease provide for an initial rent of $5,000 per month with an annual escalation equal to the greater of 3% or the Consumer Price Index. The lease is being accounted for as an operating lease. At the inception of the lease, the Company recorded both an operating lease obligation and a right-of-use asset of $624,000. The present value discounted at 4% of the remaining lease obligation of $616,517 is reflected as a liability in the accompanying financial statements.
Because our lease for the Keegan location does not provide an implicit interest rate, we used our incremental borrowing rate of 4% to determine the lease payments' present value. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, certain utility costs and sales tax. In addition to the operating lease cost, the Company will incur certain variable lease costs, which are expected to average approximately $3,000 per month beginning in April 2022.
Following is a schedule of the approximate minimum future lease payments on the operating lease for the Keegans operating location as of April 3, 2022:

The Company also rents corporate office space in West Fargo, North Dakota, and Minnetonka, Minnesota, for a monthly rent of approximately $2,200.

Introduction
We ownAs of April 2, 2022, we owned and operate ten fast foodoperated eleven restaurants, including nine Burger Time fast-food restaurants, and one Dairy Queen fast-food restaurant, and Keegan's Seafood Grille, a dine-in restaurant located in Florida. Our fast-food restaurants are all of which arelocated in the North Central region of the United States. Our Burger Time restaurants feature a wide variety of burgers and other affordably pricedaffordable foods such as chicken sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, sides, and soft drinks. Our Dairy Queen restaurant offers the established Dairy Queen menu consisting of burgers, chicken, sides, ice cream, and other desserts, and various beverages. Keegan's Seafood Grille has operated in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida, for more than thirty-five years and offers a wide arrayvariety of beverages.traditional fresh seafood items for lunch and dinner. The menu at Keegan's includes beer and wine. Our revenues are derived principally from the sale of food and beverages at our restaurants.restaurants and branded retail merchandise, which accounts for an insignificant portion of our income.
Our Burger Time operating principles include: (i) offering bigger burgers and more valuea "Bigger Burger" to deliver our customers "more good food for the money;your money"; (ii) offering a limited menu to permit attention to quality and speed of preparation; (iii) providing fast service by way of single and double drive-thru designs and a point-of-sale system that expedites the ordering and preparation process; and (iv) great tasting quality food made fresh to order at a fair price. Our primary strategy is to serve the drive-thru and take-out segment of the quick-service restaurant industry.
Operationally, we take several steps to maintain efficiency at our restaurants, including maintaining an inventory of approximately $5,000 to $15,000typically less than $20,000 per store at any given time (which also has the advantage of allowingallows for frequent deliveries of fresh food). Historically, our Burger Time investment model targeted an average total cash investment of between $325,000 and $535,000. Real estate and finance costs vary materially by location but, assuming the average investment figure applies, the amount allocated to the purchase of real estate would be approximately $225,000.
Our average customer transaction at Burger Time increased by approximately 4% in the first sixthree months of fiscal 20212022 compared to 20202021 and currently is approximately $11.50.$12.10. This recent increase is principally becausethe result of a menu price increase implemented in the middle of 2020.2021. Our sales trends are influenced by many factors, andincluding the COVID pandemic, which was a positive for our sales. The environment remains challenging for smaller restaurant chains as competition from the major fast-food hamburger-focused business is intense.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, we completed an initial public offering of units of our securities at a public offering price of $5.00 per unit, each unit comprising one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $5.50 per share. The net proceeds to the Company from the offering, including the exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase additional warrants, were approximately $10.7 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and payment of estimated offering expenses totaling approximately $1.3 million.
Material Trends and Uncertainties
There are industry trends whichthat may have an impact on our business. These trends principally relate to the rapidly changing area of technology and food delivery.delivery area. The major companies in the restaurant industry have rapidly adopted and developed applications for the smart phonesmartphone and mobile delivery, have aggressively expanded drive-through operations and have developed loyalty programs and data basedatabase marketing supported by a robust technology platform. We expect these trends to continue as restaurants aggressively completecompete for customers. Further, the major industry participants have continued to strategically discount prices through promotions such as a “dollar"dollar menu.”" We expect these significant trends will continue.
The cost of food has increased over the last two years, and we expect to see continued inflationary pressure in the remainder of 2021.2022. Beef costs were stable in 2020 and recentlysince 2020 have increased by approximately 4%13.7% per pound following an increase of approximately 5% in 2019.pound. Given the competitive nature of the fast-food burger restaurant industry, itin response to recent commodity price increases, we are planning to implement a price increase in the second quarter of 2022. It may be difficult to raise menu prices to fully cover future cost increases. DuringIn 2020 and continuing into 2021, a significant increase in business volume contributed to improved profit margins. Additional margin improvements may have to be madeachieved through operational improvements,enhancements, equipment advances and increased sales volumes to help offset any food cost increases due to the competitive state of the restaurant industry.
Labor is a critical factor in operating our stores. In most areas where we operate our restaurants, there historically has been a shortage of suitable labor and recently, securing staff for restaurant has become more challenging. This has resulted in higher wages as the competition for employees intensifies, not only in the restaurant industry, but in practically all retail and service industries. It is crucial for the Company to develop and maintain programs to attract and retain quality employees.

Increases in the federally andThe general state mandated minimum wage may also impact our operations. A variety of proposals have been made to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour and state and local governments have, in some cases, implemented minimum wage rates. In North Dakota, the minimum wage is set at the federally mandated minimum wage of $7.25 per hour and the rates are annually adjusted to reflect any increase in cost of living. South Dakota has established a minimum wage of $9.10 per hour which is annually adjusted to increase with the cost of living. Minnesota’s minimum-wage rate for small employers, such as us, is $8.04 per hour. Our hourly employees earn a wage of on average of approximately $12 to $13 per hour. An increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour would adversely impact our profit margins.
Since March 2020, we have faced the effects of the COVID-19 and its more recent variants as a global pandemic which has been both unpredictable and persistent, The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected workforces, customers, economies, and financial markets globally and has disrupted the normal flow the US economy. Our stores have, for the most part, remained open for drive-through business during the last year, however, many businesses experienced a disruption of normal operations. More recently, food service businesses, including ours, have faced challenges in attracting and hiring workers and it is possible the labor shortages may become more acute in the busier summer months.
In 2020 extending through early 2021, many states, including Minnesota, mandated limited public gatherings to halt or delay the spread of disease. Under these emergency orders, essential services remained open, including, but not limited to gas stations, pharmacies, grocery stores, food banks, convenience stores, take-out and delivery restaurants, banks, hospitals, and laundromats. Under the directions limiting public gatherings, regulators generally allowed drive-through restaurant services to remain open. To date, our restaurants have remained open although we have curtailed hours at some stores and have experienced temporary restaurant closures while locations have been cleaned and employees tested. Thus far, we have been able to reopen after two or three days. Local, regional or national governments may, at any time, implement directives that limit or order our business to close or take other measures intended to mitigate the spread of disease. Further, some customers may choose to remain in self-imposed isolation and avoid public gathering places.
While a program to vaccinate a majority of Americans is currently in progress, it is not possible for us to predict the duration or magnitude of the effects of the outbreak and its impact on our business or results of operations at this time. The conditions may influenceeconomy influences restaurant customer traffic, and our ability to adequately staff our restaurants, receive deliveries on a timely basis or perform functions at the corporate level. Further, such conditions could impact the availability of the menu items we offer and the ability of suppliers to deliver such products. We also may be adversely affected if jurisdictions in which we have restaurants impose mandatory closures, seekare ordered to close, or we may be forced to implement temporary voluntary closures or impose restrictions on operations. Even if such measures are not implemented, the perceived risk of infection or significant health risk may adversely affect our business. We expect to continue to navigate an unprecedented time for our business and industry.
As the restrictions on behavior eased with approved vaccines being distributed and administered, all the states in which we operate have lifted mandatory mask mandates and we expect that, in most respects, restaurant industry operations will return to pre-pandemic norms. Our restaurants may revert to more typical pre-pandemic operations and revenues which may result in sales declines from recent levels. We may be subject to additional competition, as many restaurants initiated take home and delivery services during the pandemic and customers may have grown accustomeddue to a wider rangeshortage of take-out foods beyond quick-service restaurant (QSR) options, which would negatively impact our revenue.
We continue to monitor the course of the pandemic and its impact on our customer base and the wider country. It is not possible for us to predict the future course of the pandemic in light of a multitude of factors, including the spread of new variants of the original coronavirus disease among the U.S. population and the efficacy of existing treatments and vaccines.
Future conditions may influence restaurant customer traffic and our ability to adequately staff our restaurants, receive deliveries on a timely basis or perform functions at the corporate level. Further, such conditions could impact the availability of the menu items we offer and the ability of suppliers to deliver such products. We also may be adversely affected if jurisdictions in which we have restaurants impose mandatory closures, seek voluntary closures or impose restrictions on operations.available workers. Even if such measures are not implemented, the perceived risk of infection or significant health risk may adversely affect our business.
Growth Strategy and Outlook
We are seeking to increase value for our shareholders in the foodservicefood service industry. Our principal strategy comprises acquiringis to acquire multi-unit restaurant concepts and individual restaurant properties at attractive multiples of earnings.earnings multiples. Though we do not currently planhave plans to do so, we may, under certain circumstances, we may develop additional Burger Time locations through the acquisition and conversion of existing properties.locations. Other keycritical elements of our growth strategy encompass increasing same storesame-store sales and introducing a campaign to boost brand awareness.
Expansion Through Acquisitions
We intend to make strategic and opportunistic acquisitions that provide an entrance into targeted restaurant segments and geographic areas. Restaurant businesses become available for acquisition frequently and wefrequently. We believe that we may be able to purchase either individual restaurant properties or multi-unit businesses at prices providingthat provide an attractive return on our investment. Alternatively, we may acquire operating assets where a franchise program of the acquired foodservice business is concluded by management to be the most appropriate growth plan. We intend to follow a disciplined strategy of evaluating acquisition opportunities that seek to ensure and enable the accretive and efficient acquisition and integration of additional restaurant concepts. Successful execution of our acquisition strategy will allow us to diversify our operations both into other dining concepts and geographic locations.
In evaluating potential acquisitions, we may consider the following characteristics, among others, that management considers relevant to each distinct opportunity:
| · | the value proposition offered by acquisition targets when comparing the purchase price to the potential return on our investment; |
| · | established, recognized brands within their geographic footprint; |
| · | steady cash flow; |
| · | track records of long-term operating performance; |
| · | sustainable operating results; |
| · | geographic diversification; and |
| · | growth potential. |
Assuming we are successful in acquiringsuccessfully acquire new businesses, we will operate the business or businesses with a shared central management organization. Following the acquisition, we expect to pursue a growth plan to both expand the number of locations and to increase comparable store sales and profits, as described below. We anticipate that by leveraging our management services platform, we will be able to achieve post-acquisition cost benefits by reducing the corporate overhead of the acquired business. If we acquire one or more restaurant chains or individual units in close proximity tonear each other, we believe the concentration of operations will provide economic synergies with respect tofor management functions, marketing, and advertising, supply chain assistance, staff training, and operational oversight.

Future Development of Additional Burger Time Restaurants
We may in certain circumstances, consider developing additional Burger Time location.locations. Conditions whichthat might give rise to developing additional Burger Time locations include the opportunity to acquire and convert a property that previously had operated as a fast-food establishment at a highlyan attractive price in a location that fits naturally within Burger Time’sTime's geographic footprint so that we may share service expenses, including advertising costs.
If we elect to open additional Burger Time restaurants, we expect that the development of these restaurants will, based on our experience, require a minimum of six to nine months after opening to achieve the targeted restaurant-level sales and operating margins. In a case whereWhen we open a restaurant in new and untested markets, achieving targeted sales may take longer since the local population will not be familiar with our brand and buildingbrand. Building brand awareness takes time.time in a new and untested market. How quickly new restaurants achieve their targeted sales and operating margin depends on many factors, including the level of consumer familiarity with our brand as well asand the availability of experienced managers and other staff. However, every restaurant has a unique opening sales pattern, and this patternwhich is difficult to predict.
Increase Same-Store Sales
Same-store sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable store base. We intend to deploy a multi-faceted same-store sales growth strategy to optimize restaurant performance. We will apply techniques proven in the restaurant industry to increase same storesame-store sales at our Burger Time restaurants and at our acquired properties and to develop new approaches that reflect our corporate character and restaurant composition. We expect to utilize customer feedback and analyze sales data to introduce, test and hone existing and new menu items. In addition, we will investigate utilizingusing public relations and experiential marketing to engage customers. We expect that our strategies to increase same-store sales will evolve as we acquire new restaurant concepts in new markets.
Increase Brand Awareness
We appreciate that increasing brand awareness is importantessential to the growth of our Company. We will develop and implement forward-looking branding strategies both for our Burger Time concept and for any businesses that we acquire.acquired businesses. We will seek to leverage social media and employ targeted digital advertising to expand the reach of our brands and drive traffic to our stores. In addition, we intend to develop mobile applications that will allow consumers to find restaurants, order online and earn rewards. We will deploy internet advertising to match specific menu items targeted to specific demographic groups. We will deploy cross-over ads with radio and social media interacting with each other.interaction. We expect that our branding initiatives willto evolve as we consummate acquisitions of restaurant concepts that appeal to distinct consumer markets in differing geographic areas.
Our ability to acquire or open new restaurants is predicated on the availability of capital for such purposes. We cannot be certain that capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.
First Quarter Highlights
On March 2, 2022, we consummated the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Keegan's Seafood Grille, Inc., an operating restaurant located in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida. We acquired the assets for a purchase price of $1,150,000. The acquired assets have operated as Keegan's Seafood Grille for more than 35 years, primarily serving the Clearwater and St. Petersburg, Florida markets. As part of the purchase, we acquired the "Keegan's Seafood Grille" tradename, and we plan to continue to operate the property under the Keegan's Seafood Grille name.
Key Performance Indicators
We use comparable store sales metrics as indicators of sales growth to evaluate how our established stores have performed over time. We use comparable guest traffic to determine how established stores have performed over time, excluding growth achieved through menu price and sales mix change. Finally, we use average checks per guest to identify trends in guest preferences and the effectiveness of menu changes. We believe these performance indicators are useful for investors by providing a consistent comparison of sales results and trends across comparable periods within our core, established store base, unaffected by results of store openings, closings, and other transitional changes.

Net Revenues:
Net sales for the fiscal secondfirst quarter of 2021 decreased $13,6552022 increased $132,323 or 6.8% to $2,382,683$2,073,195 from $2,396,338$1,940,872 in fiscal 2020. Sales in 2021 have continued to be strong. We have held most of the gains realized during the period of significant dining restrictions resulting in a favorable impact on drive-through locations. This continuing trend has led to an increase in consumers choosing Burger Time as a meal alternative.
Restaurant unit sales for the 13-week period ranged from a low of approximately $154,000 to a high of approximately $312,500 and average sales for each Burger Time unit during the period was approximately $237,200 in 2021 essentially unchanged from the same period in 2020.
Costs of Sales - food and paper:
Cost of sales - food and paper for secondfirst quarter of fiscal 2021 increased as a percentage of2021. A decline in sales at Burger Time locations was attributable principally to 38.1%the labor issues resulting in some curtailment of restaurant sales from 37.3% of restaurant salesoperating hours and poorer weather conditions than in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. This increase was the net result of inflationary pressures of certain items, a favorable six-month verbal fixed price arrangement on the price of ground beef patties at $2.51 per pound which more recently has increased to $2.61 per pound,year-earlier period. These negative effects were offset by the impactcontribution to sales of a price increase taken at the end of second quarter in 2020 fully realized in 2021.
Restaurant Operating Costs:
Restaurant operating costs (which refer to all the costs associated with the operation of our restaurants, but do not include generalapproximately one-month for Keegan's Seafood Grille, which was acquired on March 2, 2022, and administrative costs, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization) as a percent of restaurant sales increased to 76.6% of sales in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 from 74.4% in similar period of fiscal 2020. This was due to the net effect of the higher cost incurred for personal protection equipment, the impact of the 2020 price increase, offset by tighter labor markets and the matters discussed in the “Cost of Sales,” “Labor Costs,” “Occupancy and Other Operating Cost” sections below.
Labor Costs
For the second quarter of fiscal 2021, labor and benefits costs increased slightly by $10,529 to $621,227 and increased as a percentage of sales to 26.1% of restaurant sales from 25.5%of restaurant sales in fiscal 2020. The increase in the percentage was the result of tighter labor markets leading to higher hourly wage costs offset by the leveraging of existing staffing. Payroll costs are semi-variable in nature, meaning that they do not decrease proportionally to decreases in revenue, thus they increase as a percentage of restaurant sales when there is a decrease in restaurant sales.
Occupancy and Other Operating Expenses
For the second fiscal quarter of 2021, occupancy and other expenses increased $14,430 to $295,978 (12.4% of sales) in 2021 from 11.6% of sales in similar period in 2020.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense:
For second fiscal quarter of 2021, depreciation and amortization increased $12,458 to $58,558 (2.5% of sales) from $46,100 (1.9% of sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 2020.
General and Administrative Costs
General and administrative costs decreased $1,303 from $116,947 (4.9% of sales) to $115,644 (4.9% of sales) in the second fiscal quarter of 2021.
Income from Operations
The income from operations for the 13 week-period was $382,516 in fiscal 2021 compared to an income from operations of $350,156 in similar period in 2020. The increase in the percentage of income from operations to 16.0% in fiscal 2021 compared to 14.6% fiscal 2020 was principally the result of a $100,000 impairment charge in the 2020 period to reduce the carrying value of property held for sale and the matters discussed in the “Net Revenues” and “Restaurant Operating Costs” sections above.
Restaurant-level EBITDA:
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses restaurant-level EBITDA, which is not a measure defined by GAAP. This non-GAAP operating measure is useful to both management and, we believe, to investors because it represents one means of gauging the overall profitability of our recurring and controllable core restaurant operations. This measure is not, however, indicative of our overall results, nor does restaurant-level profit accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders, primarily due to the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Restaurant-level EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, operating income, which is calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the reconciliations to operating income set forth below should be carefully evaluated.
We define restaurant-level EBITDA as operating income before pre-opening costs, if any, general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. General and administrative costs are excluded as they are generally not specifically identifiable to restaurant specific costs. Depreciation and amortization and impairment charges are excluded because they are not ongoing controllable cash expenses, and they are not related to the health of ongoing operations.

Restaurant-level EBITDA:
To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance withaccording to GAAP, the Company uses restaurant-level EBITDA, which is not a measure defined by GAAP.

ThisHowever, this measure is not however, indicative of our overall results, nor does restaurant-level profit accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders, primarily due to the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Restaurant-level EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for or superior to operating income, which is calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the reconciliations to operating income set forth below should be carefully evaluated.
We define restaurant-level EBITDA as operating income before pre-opening costs, if any, general and administrative costs, and depreciation and amortization and impairment charges.amortization. General and administrative costs are excluded as they are generally not specifically identifiable to restaurant specificrestaurant-specific costs. Depreciation and amortization and impairment charges are excluded because they are not ongoing controllable cash expenses and they are not related to the health of ongoing operations.

Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures, and general corporate needs, as well as to invest in or acquire businesses that are synergistic with or complimentary to our business. Our operations do not require significant working capital, and, like many restaurant companies, we generallymay operate with negative working capital. We anticipate that working capital deficits may be incurred in the future and possibly increase. Our primary sources of liquidity and cash flows are operating cash flows and cash on hand. We use this to service debt, and to maintain our stores to operate in an efficient manner,efficiently, and to increase our working capital. Our working capital position benefits from the fact that we collect cash from sales from our customers at the point of sale,purchase or within a few days from our credit card processor, and in general,processor. Generally, payments to our vendors are not due for thirty days.

Commodity Price Risk
We are subject to volatility in food costs as a result ofdue to market risk associated with commodity prices. Our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. WeTo manage these risks, we do not enter into pricing agreements with any of our suppliers to manage these risks.suppliers. Beef is our largest single food purchase, and the price we pay for beef fluctuates weekly based on beef commodity prices. We do not currently manage this risk with commodity future and option contracts.

Seasonality and Inflation
Seasonal factors and the timing of holidays cause our revenue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Our revenue per restaurant is typically slightly lower in the first and fourth quarters due to holiday closures and the impact of cold weather at all our locations. Adverse weather conditions may also affect customer traffic, especially in the first and fourth quarters, when customers do not use our outdoor seating areas, which impacts the use of these areas and may adversely affect our revenue.
Management does not believebelieves that inflation has had a material effect on income during thein recent years. Increasesperiods. A continuation of current cost trends in food, labor, orand other operating costs could adversely affect the Company’sCompany's operations. In the past, however, theThe Company generally has been able to increase menu prices or modify its operating procedures to substantially offset increases in its operating costs.
The cost of construction has also increased in recent history. We expect that costs to construct new restaurants in our existing and contiguous markets will be more expensive than several years ago, but we expect to achieve higher restaurant sales volumes and/orand margin improvements to offset these or additionadditional construction cost increases. Construction cost increases could have an adverse effect on our business and operations, particularly for new restaurant development.
Our business is subject to a wide range of federal, state, and local regulations, which are subject to change in ways we cannot now anticipate. We are uncertain as to the effect if any, that changes in the regulatory environment may have on our Company.
