In its own words
What could break it.
Commodity & input dependence
- beef, chicken, eggs, pork, dairy, grainsmedium
Food costs are exposed to volatile commodity markets — beef, chicken, eggs, pork, dairy and grains — and higher commodity costs were a primary driver of the 2025 cost-of-sales increase.
“We purchase certain food products, such as beef, chicken, eggs, pork, dairy and grains, that are affected by changes in commodity prices and, as a result, we are subject to variability in our food costs.”
Supplier concentration
- single main in-line distributor (~63% of U.S. restaurants)medium
One main in-line distributor served ~63% of Wendy's U.S. restaurants (four others served ~35% combined); a service disruption at the main distributor could raise costs while distribution is adjusted.
“As of December 28, 2025, Wendy's had one main in-line distributor of food, packaging and beverage products, excluding breads, that serviced approximately 63 % of Wendy's restaurants in the U.S. and four additional in-line distributors that, in the aggregate, serviced approximately 35 % of Wendy's restaurants in the U.S.”
