Standard classifications describe what a company files as, not what it's a bet on. This is a curated list of the Restaurants names in our US universe: the pure-plays, plus the larger companies for which Restaurants is a real, reported driver rather than a passing mention. Each carries the same 0–100 quality-growth score used everywhere on the site (how it's built), and re-scores every trading day.

All 15 members report under a single industry, Restaurants — unusual for a theme, and a sign this one maps closely to a standard classification.
Average pillar scores across the 15 scored members, against every stock the model scores:
| Pillar | Restaurants | Market | Read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quality | 69.7 | 56.5 | 13.2 above |
| Growth | 71.3 | 58.8 | 12.5 above |
| Value | 39.2 | 44.8 | 5.6 below |
Pillars run 0–100 against sector peers. A low Value reading means the group is expensive relative to what it earns, not that the businesses are weak — for an early-stage theme that is the normal shape.
Scores across the group run from YUMC at 74.0 down to WEN at 37.2, with a median of 56.7. A theme is a thesis, not a quality filter — membership says a company is exposed to Restaurants, and the score says what the model makes of the business.
Across the 15 Restaurant names with a reading, the median forward earnings estimate is roughly unchanged — -0.3% over 90 days, behind the market (+0.3%). 6 of 15 are being revised up, 5 down.
Forward earnings estimates implied by price ÷ forward P/E, both captured at the same moment each trading day since June 2026, so a moving share price does not move these figures — only a changed forecast does. Estimate direction is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →
