Published: May 01, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

The Smart Kitchen aims to cut ticket times by 50%, but it's likely that Wingstop's path to $3 million in AUV is constrained by softening demand, not kitchen efficiency. Same-store sales growth decelerated to just 0.5% y/y, which reflects a cautious consumer that is pushing back against price increases.
