So, in the midst of all this uncertainty surrounding health and economic security, America is coming together through incredible acts of compassion. Several executives from corporations such as General Electric, Disney, Marriott have all opted to forgo their own paychecks in order to help their workforce. My next guest is among those who is trying to help workers in need. Kent Taylor is the founder and CEO of Texas Roadhouse. He gave up his salary and his bonus for the year to help pay for the frontline employees during the COVID-19 crisis. Kent, good to see you. I see you that you well -- you watched the White House -- Good to see you. -- briefing tonight and you got your -- We've been doing this -- you got your gloves and you've got your bandana. Yeah, we've been doing this for over a week, so they just caught up to it, I guess.
So, what does it say on your shirt there? Right here, it's, wash your hands, put your gloves on, put your eyewear on, and wear a mask or a bandana. So, there you go. And at the bottom, it says service with heart, six feet apart. Service with heart six feet apart. Yes, I missed that part. So, tell me a little bit about why you decided to give up your salary for this year and who -- how is it directly helping your employees? Basically, we're a company, a people company that serves steaks, and so that was an easy choice for me on the salary part to help our people. And within a few days those checks started rolling to those people, our own stimulus plan, as it were.
