Good day, and welcome to the Fiesta Restaurant Group First Quarter 2022 Earnings Call. All participants will be in listen-only mode. [Operator Instructions] After today’s presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions. Please note this event is being recorded.
I'd now like to turn the conference over to Mr. Raphael Gross, Partner at ICR. Please go ahead.

Thank you, operator. Fiesta Restaurant Group's first quarter 2022 earnings release was issued after the market closed today. If you have not already accessed it, it can be found on the company's website www.frgi.com under the Investor Relations section.
Before we begin, I'd like to inform you that during the call today, the company will make various statements that are not based on historical information. These forward-looking statements include without limitation, statements regarding the company's future financial position and results of operations, business strategy, budget, projected costs and plans, and objectives of management for future operations.
Actual outcomes and results may differ materially unless expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements, and the company can give no assurance that such forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements can be found in the company's SEC filings.
Please note that during today's conference call certain non-GAAP financial measures will be discussed, which the company believes can be useful in evaluating its performance. Any discussion of such information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation to comparable GAAP measures is available in the company's earnings release.
On the call with me today are President and Chief Executive Officer, Rich Stockinger; Chief Experience Officer and Senior VP of Strategic Initiatives, Patty Lopez-Calleja; and Chief Financial Officer, Dirk Montgomery.
And now I'd like to turn the call over to Rich.
Rich Stockinger
Thank you, Rafe. I'd first like to thank all the investors and other participants on the call today for their continued support. I'll be covering three topics today: a business update and overview of the first quarter results, the status of our strategic priorities and thoughts on 2022. Dirk will then wrap up with a financial update before we open the call for questions. We also have Patty Lopez-Calleja, our Chief Experience Officer and Senior VP of Strategic Initiatives here with us to provide more color on our digital status during the Q&A session.
