The Cheesecake Factory - statistics & facts

Despite its name, The Cheesecake Factory is known for its huge menu, offering as many as 250 items in 2025, spanning from Korean fried chicken to shepherd’s pie. This diversity has worked for the full service restaurant chain, which recorded its highest revenue yet in 2024 of around 3.6 billion U.S. dollars. Originally based in California, The Cheesecake Factory has since expanded both nationally and internationally.

International growth of The Cheesecake Factory

While the chain has expanded internationally, reaching just under 250 locations in 2024, The Cheesecake Factory’s biggest market is still the United States. That year, the chain had locations in 39 U.S. states, plus Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. Given it was founded there, it is perhaps unsurprising that the U.S. state with the most The Cheesecake Factory restaurants was California, with 38 locations in 2024. Outside the U.S., the company has expanded its assets to include businesses in the Middle East, Mexico, the Chinese Mainland, and the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau, which constituted the smaller total of 34 international locations. While there are no stores in Europe, it is possible to buy The Cheesecake Factory products via distributor Schengen Desserts, which supplies both retailers and food service operators.

How popular is The Cheesecake Factory in the U.S.?

The Cheesecake Factory is a big player in the United States’ full service restaurant market, where some of its main competitors include IHOP, Olive Garden, and ´¡±è±è±ô±ð²ú±ð±ð’s. While the chain received the same American Consumer Satisfaction Index score as IHOP at 78 out of 100, it was lower than that of ´¡±è±è±ô±ð²ú±ð±ð’s and Olive Garden, and significantly lower than the full service restaurant average of 84 out of 100. While its enormous menu is undeniably a draw for some consumers, having so many options may also have caused the chain to compromise on quality in some dishes, leaving consumers less satisfied. That being said, the chain does not appear to be altering its menu structure in the near future, having removed 13 items and added 23 items in 2025. Time will tell if this will continue to be a key part of the company’s marketing strategy going forward.
