Shares of Red Robin fell 18 percent Tuesday after the company reported quarterly revenue that fell short of Wall Street estimates.
The burger chain's revenue increased 1.8 percent to $402.1 million, yet missed analysts' consensus estimates of $415 million, according to Thomson Reuters. The company's comparable restaurant revenue declined 2.6 percent in the first quarter.
Red Robin cited a 4.1 percent drop in guests for the sales drop.
"We were disappointed, particularly with our guest counts," Steve Carley, Red Robin CEO, said in a statement. "We have a solid strategy for long-term success, including a number of operations and marketing initiatives."
