To help manage future cash requirements, we intend to prioritize capital-efficient growth in 2026, significantly reducing discretionary capital expenditures. New-restaurant Company-owned development will focus on locations requiring $1.5 million or less, net of tenant improvement allowance, to open. We plan to convert up to an additional nine Company-owned Grill restaurants to Benihana or STK formats. These conversions are expected to require approximately $1.0 million in capital investment and are anticipated to be accretive to EBITDA.

Previous wording

When we open new Company-owned restaurants, our capital expenditures for construction increase. For owned STK restaurants, where we build from a shell state, we have typically targeted a restaurant size of 8,000 square feet with a net cash investment of approximately $450 to $500 per square foot, made up of a gross cash investment of $600 to $650 per square foot and $150 per square foot in landlord contributions. STK restaurants opened in 2024 and 2025 had a gross cost per square foot of $689 and $119 per square foot in landlord contributions with an average size of 11,922 square feet. For owned Benihana restaurants, where we build from a shell state, we have typically targeted a restaurant size of 6,000 to 7,000 square feet. In situations where we add functional space and build a restaurant with a mezzanine, covered patio, or rooftop, costs per square foot will increase. Typical cash pre-opening expenses are $0.6 million to $0.8 million, excluding the impact of cash and non-cash pre-opening rent. In addition, some of our existing restaurants will require capital improvements to either maintain or improve the facilities. We may add seating or provide enclosures for outdoor space in the next twelve months for some of our locations, when we believe that will increase revenues for those locations.

We typically seek to lease our restaurant locations for periods of 10 to 20 years under operating lease arrangements, with a limited number of renewal options. Our rent structure varies, but our leases generally provide for the payment of both minimum and contingent rent based on sales, as well as other expenses related to the leases such as our pro-rata share of common area maintenance, property tax and insurance expenses. Many of our lease arrangements include the opportunity to secure tenant improvement allowances to partially offset the cost of developing and opening the related restaurants. Generally, landlords recover the cost of such allowances from increased minimum rents. However, there can be no assurance that such allowances will be available to us on each project that we select for development.
