After reviewing the information you provide in response to these comments and your amended draft registration statement or filed registration statement, we may have additional comments. Amendment No. 3 to Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed March 24, 2022 Cover page 1. We note your revisions in response to comment 1 and reissue in part. Please expand your disclosure to make clear to investors that Class B holders are the pre-IPO LLC members. Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information and Other Data, page 66 2. We reviewed your response to comment 4 but it does not appear that you have made the revision indicated and your reference to "pro forma adjustments in the Reorganization and Offering Adjustments column" in your disclosure on page 66 is still inconsistent with the actual columns labeled as "Pro Forma Other Adjustments" and "Pro Forma Proceeds" in the pro forma financial statements. Please clarify or revise. Tom Croal GEN Restaurant Group, Inc.
