Total estimated sales of the restaurants, caterers and taverns industry reached $3.4 billion in March, up 3.5% from March 2006. (Data are neither seasonally adjusted, nor adjusted for inflation.)
The increase in sales, at the national level, was due to higher sales at limited service restaurants (+4.4%). Sales for full service restaurants rose 1.1%. These two sectors accounted for more than 85% of the sales for the industry in March. The caterers and food service contractors sectors increased by 22.0% and 13.5% respectively. These two sectors accounted for almost 9% of the sales for the industry in March.
