Here is your Hospitality Minute, brought to you by MarketScale. The popular Tex-Mex restaurant chain Chili’s is another retailer struck by data breaches within the last year.

Brinker International restaurant group announced on Saturday, May 12th, that credit card

information from their customers had been compromised at Chili’s locations.

According to their statement, “While the investigation is still ongoing, we believe that malware

was used to gather payment card information, including credit or debit card numbers and

cardholder names, from our payment-related systems for in-restaurant purchases at certain

Chili's restaurants.”

Thankfully, it has been confirmed that no social security numbers or date of birth records were

released during the incident.
