No, not all Chili's Grill & Bar restaurants are owned directly by Brinker International, although Brinker is the parent corporation that created, owns, and operates the overarching casual dining brand. While Brinker International directly owns and manages a vast portfolio of corporate-run Chili's locations across the United States, a substantial percentage of Chili's restaurants worldwide operate under franchise agreements. Under this business model, independent franchise partners or international hospitality groups purchase the legal rights to open and operate Chili's restaurants in specific domestic regions or foreign countries. These franchisees manage day-to-day operations, local staffing, and real estate while adhering to Brinker's corporate food quality standards, brand guidelines, and menu recipes in exchange for royalty fees.
