All right. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us. Really excited to be joined on stage here with the First Watch management team: Chris Tomasso, CEO; Mel Hope, CFO. Thank you, guys, both for joining us. Appreciate you being here.
First Watch, one of the class of 2021 IPOs, I'm not sure at this point, if that's a good thing or a bad thing, frankly, but it's a thing, and you guys are part of it. A brand that I think many in the room -- many investors may be listening in, may not be all that familiar with. I know I wasn't familiar with it before. We had a chance to do some due diligence and meet you guys, of course. A unique concept, serving only breakfast, brunch and lunch open 7 to 2:30 in the afternoon. 450 restaurants though, so no small player in the industry and mostly company-owned.
