Restaurant Industry Show Upbeat Signs

October 18, 2012 by Mina Singson-Brightman

September 2012 – Latest economic surveys demonstrate that US consumer spending increased in recent months. This is great news for the restaurant industry as consumer spending for drinking and eating places also experienced nearly 3% growth, driving a 0.5% gain in restaurant opening nationwide in Spring 2012, according to the most recent restaurant surveys conducted by The NPD Group, a leading market research company. “Consumers may not be flocking to restaurants in droves, but they are going out, that’s good news,” says Bonnie Riggs, NPD restaurant industry analyst. “We’re also seeing that when they do dine out, they are trying new offerings, spending a little more and not relying totally on deals. However, their continuing cost-consciousness, still relatively high unemployment, and economic uncertainty will keep the industry flat.”
