Restaurant Brands International (NYSE/TSX: QSR) will put its two most senior executives in front of Wall Street analysts on May 28, 2026, when Executive Chairman Patrick Doyle and Chief Executive Officer Josh Kobza take the stage for a fireside chat at the Bernstein 42nd Annual Strategic Decisions Conference in New York City. The session begins at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
For operators and franchisees tracking RBI's direction across its portfolio — which includes Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and Firehouse Subs — the conversation is likely to surface near-term priorities around remodels, franchisee support, and unit-level economics. Bernstein's strategic decisions format typically draws out forward-looking commentary that goes beyond what appears in quarterly earnings calls.
A live audio webcast will be accessible through RBI's investor relations page at rbi.com/investors, and a replay will be available for a limited time after the event concludes. That on-demand window gives multi-unit operators and supply-chain partners who can't tune in live a chance to catch the full exchange before the replay expires.
The appearance comes as the restaurant industry navigates ongoing cost pressures tied to labor, commodities, and shifting consumer spending. RBI has been vocal about its "Reclaim the Flame" turnaround plan for Burger King U.S. and its broader push to accelerate net restaurant growth internationally, making any updated executive commentary on those fronts particularly relevant to franchise operators and potential franchisee candidates.
Coverage of the conference and any material strategy updates will be tracked by Food & Beverage Magazine and reflected in ongoing beverage and quick-service industry analysis as RBI's Tim Hortons and other beverage-forward brands continue to compete for morning and snack daypart traffic.
