COVID variants and outbreaks impacted our employees and guests, historic inflation raised our costs and made visiting Cracker Barrel more challenging for some, high gas prices affected both travel plans and travel patterns, and a tight labor market pressured our hiring and staffing. Despite these challenges, however, our teams demonstrated why Cracker Barrel is such a beloved and successful brand, delivering a great employee and guest experience while furthering our commitments to environmental responsibility, food safety and quality, providing a great workplace for our team, and operating under the highest standards of corporate governance and business ethics. We also worked closely with waste vendors to get a clearer understanding of our current recycling and diversion practices, providing a baseline against which to measure future progress.
