Garland’s Robert Hinton was named a finalist for the annual Texas Roadhouse Managing Partner of the Year award, which is the company’s highest honor. Robert and 18 other outstanding managing partners were chosen from a pool of nearly 600 restaurant operators.
“These 19 managing partners are truly the best of the best,” said Texas Roadhouse CEO Jerry Morgan. “I’m so proud of Robert for his commitment to providing legendary food and legendary service to our guests.”
The award recognizes the managing partner who best displays the characteristics of an operational leader. Hinton and the other 18 finalists will be judged on seven criteria. Those are: Legendary Food, Legendary Service, Legendary Marketing, Legendary Culture, Legendary People, Legendary Profits and Legendary Pride and Passion.
In April, the Managing Partner of the Year will be announced at the company’s annual conference in Orlando. The winner will receive a new car, a check for $30,000, a lead crystal replica of a Texas Roadhouse restaurant, a Managing Partner of the Year ring and a gold belt buckle.
Hinton has been the managing partner of Garland’s Texas Roadhouse since 2007.
