Steak N Shake
Full-Service Restaurants
How that compares in its industry
Brands in the same industry group — Limited-Service Restaurants — with at least 20 finished loans, meaning repaid or written off. 1396 further brands were left out for having too few. The chart draws 13 of 100: the best and worst of the group, plus Steak N Shake. The 87 in between are marked where they fall.
85 of 99 comparable brands had a lower charge-off rate than Steak N Shake.
The median brand in this group charged off 6.5% of its finished loans; Steak N Shake charged off 21.7% — 3.3× the median. Rank alone would move a whole place if any single brand did, so the median is the steadier comparison.
That rests on 23 finished loans. One fewer default would read 17.4%, one more 26.1% — how much a single borrower moves this figure is part of reading it.

Charge-off rate across finished loans — repaid or written off — so a lower bar is better. Counts beside each bar are the evidence behind the percentage — a brand with 3 of 21 and one with 30 of 210 share a rate and not a level of certainty. Industry grouping is the SBA’s own classification (NAICS 7225), which is broader than a brand’s own speciality.
