GRUB - Texas Roadhouse Has Something Important That Grubhub Doesn't
Steak-centric restaurant chain Texas Roadhouse (NASDAQ: TXRH) had been in the doldrums for most of 2019, but the stock spiked 20% following its recent third-quarter report. Turns out, its loyal customers like the food, and it has a business model that can be fine-tuned with good management. That's a sharp contrast to delivery service Grubhub (NYSE: GRUB). Its ugly Q3 report just showed precisely all the assets it doesn't have, and customer loyalty ranks high among them. In this MarketFoolery podcast, host Chris Hill and Motley Fool Asset Management's Bill Barker will consider the divergent paths of those two restaurant industry players, as well as what went mildly wrong at Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) this past quarter.
