“We are pleased that consumer confidence and traffic in the QSR (quick service restaurant) segment remains strong, despite higher gasoline prices. Wendy’s food and labour costs are expected to be on plan for the rest of the year with our beef prices declining compared to the first quarter and our costs for chicken and produce under contract,” said chief executive Jack Schuessler.
Wendy’s reiterated its target of 2004 earnings per share between US$2.32 and $2.37, compared to $2.05 in the previous year.
