Red Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc. has promoted Dave Hansen into the new role of chief accounting officer, the company reported Thursday.
Hansen, 44, had most recently served as vice president and controller for the Greenwood Village, Colo.-based casual-dining brand.
Red Robin reported the promotion, which was effective Oct. 30, in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, and company representatives had not responded to media requests by press time.
Hansen was promoted to Red Robin controller in March 2017 and had served as the director or corporate accounting since August 2013.
In September, Red Robin said it was promoting Guy Constant, chief financial officer, to succeed Carin Stutz as the chain’s chief operating officer.
For the second quarter ended July 15, Red Robin swung to a loss of $1.9 million, or 14 cents a share, from a profit of $6.9 million, or 53 cents a share, in the same period last year. Revenues slipped 0.6 percent to $315.4 million, from $317.3 million in the same quarter last year.
Same-store sales in the quarter declined 2.6 percent and guest traffic was off 0.7 percent compared to the same period last year.
The company is scheduled to release earnings for the third quarter ended Oct. 7 after the market closes on Tuesday.
As of July 15, Red Robin had 572 restaurants, with 484 company-owned and 88 franchised units.
