CODY'S AMERICAN RESTAURANTS, LLC

What CODY'S AMERICAN RESTAURANTS, LLC does

Cody's American Restaurants, LLC operates Cody's Original Roadhouse, a four-unit casual dining restaurant chain based entirely in Central Florida. One location is in Ocala (On Top of the World) and three are in The Villages (Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood Paddock Square), with operating hours of 11 AM to 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11 AM to 10 PM Friday and Saturday. The concept is a family-friendly American roadhouse serving hand-cut, flame-broiled USDA Choice (or better) steaks, slow-roasted prime rib, rotisserie chicken, fall-off-the-bone BBQ baby back ribs, fresh fish, half-pound burgers, fajitas, and jumbo chicken wings, anchored by a 2-for-1 happy hour running seven days a week from 11 AM to 7 PM.

The business operates with minimal proprietary technology. Its digital footprint consists of a Wix-hosted website (codysamerican.com) serving as menu/locations/employment hub, a Facebook Messenger-based newsletter subscription, a customer feedback form, an online employment application, and a QuickGifts-powered gift card sales channel. An internal sales submission portal captures daily store-level metrics — total sales, food sales, alcohol sales, guest count, labor percentage, and entertainment — indicating rudimentary but centralized operational reporting across the four units.

Revenue is generated exclusively through on-premise dine-in transactions across the four Florida locations, supplemented by gift card sales and a seasonal Holiday Feasts offering. There are no delivery, online ordering, catering, or franchise operations in evidence, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or financial data. The entity is a privately held Florida LLC operating as a direct-to-consumer, single-channel restaurant business with no institutional investment, no M&A activity, and no disclosed ownership beyond the operating LLC.
