Casa do Brasil

What Casa do Brasil does

Casa do Brasil is a privately-held Brazilian steakhouse chain founded in 2018 and headquartered in College Station, Texas, operating four dine-in restaurants across Austin, College Station, Houston, and Waco. Its core product is a rodízio-format churrasco experience: guests pay a single per-person price for unlimited tableside carving of fifteen cuts of USDA Prime beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and shrimp by trained Gaucho chefs, combined with a fifty-plus-item salad bar. The company has no proprietary technology and runs a traditional full-service hospitality model; customer-facing digital tooling is delegated to third-party platforms (ToastTab for online ordering and gift cards, OpenTable for reservations, Mailchimp for the Casa Club email list).

Revenue is generated through four transaction-fee streams: dine-in restaurant service (per-person rodízio charges plus beverages), off-site catering (three tiered packages — Gaucho Churrasco, Premium, and The Casa — at per-person pricing with buffet, carving station, or tableside service), to-go and delivery (curbside pickup, family platters, butcher cuts) operated through ToastTab, and private dining and conference room rentals priced against minimum food-and-beverage spend rather than flat rental fees. The chain serves a diversified customer base spanning local individual diners, corporate catering clients (e.g., EspriGas, Daniel Stark Injury Lawyers, Lost Draw), wedding and social-event hosts, and to-go consumers, with weekly promotional programming (Couples Night, Martini Night, Kids Eat Free Wednesdays, Bottomless Brunch) and event participation (Houston Restaurant Weeks) used to drive off-peak traffic. All operations are concentrated within Texas; no parent company, external funding rounds, or franchise structure are disclosed.
