(12) Segment Information

The Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker (the "CODM"). The CODM assesses the performance of the business and allocates resources at the concept level and as a result we have identified Texas Roadhouse, Bubba's 33, and Jaggers as separate operating segments. In addition, we have identified our retail initiatives as a separate operating segment. Finally, we have identified Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33 as reportable segments. The Texas Roadhouse reportable segment includes the results of our company and franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants. The Bubba's 33 reportable segment includes the results of our company Bubba's 33 restaurants. Our remaining operating segments, which include the results of our company and franchise Jaggers restaurants and the results of our retail initiatives, are included in Other. In addition, corporate-related assets, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures are also included in Other.

The CODM uses restaurant margin as the primary financial measure for assessing the performance of our segments. Restaurant margin represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent, and other operating costs. Restaurant margin is also used by our CODM to evaluate core restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance, assist in the evaluation of operating trends over time, and in making capital allocation decisions. Capital allocation decisions include approving new store openings and the refurbishment, expansion, or relocation of existing restaurants.

In calculating restaurant margin, we exclude certain non-restaurant-level costs that support operations, including pre-opening and general and administrative expenses, but do not have a direct impact on restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance. We exclude pre-opening expenses as they occur at irregular intervals and would impact comparability to prior period results. We exclude depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which relate to restaurant-level assets, as it represents a non-cash charge for the investment in our restaurants. We exclude impairment and closure expenses as we believe this provides a clearer perspective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.

Restaurant and other sales for all operating segments are derived primarily from food and beverage sales. We do not rely on any major customer as a source of sales and the customers and assets of our reportable segments are located predominantly in the United States. There are no material transactions between reportable segments.

The following tables reconcile our segment results to our consolidated results reported in accordance with GAAP:
