statement on
EDGAR. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and circumstances

1.     Please present with equal or greater prominence the comparable GAAP
margin to the non-
       GAAP measure "restaurant-level contribution margin" presented on pages
13, 50 and 57.

2.     Refer to your response to comment 10. Please disclose the "honeymoon
period" for
       restaurant openings in fiscal year 2018 and, to the extent material,
discuss any differences
       in the trends evidenced in 2018 compared to 2017. In this regard, we

         disclosures that the "honeymoon" period for your three restaurant
openings in fiscal year
         2017 ranged up to six months.

3.       Refer to your response to comment 10 and your revised disclosure on
page 60. We note
         that one and two restaurants underwent renovations in fiscal years
2018 and 2017,
         respectively. Please explain how the decline in comparable restaurant
sales growth from
         fiscal year 2017 to fiscal year 2018 is primarily due to the increase
in sales after a
         restaurant reopens from temporary closure for renovation. To the
extent this is because
         reopened restaurants similarly experience a "honeymoon period,"
clarify this and discuss
         the extent to which there is a material difference in the honeymoon
period for a renovated
         restaurant compared to a newly opened restaurant.
