Restaurant Industry Average

Use it as an overview of what’s happening in the restaurant business.

This past weekend I spoke with a manager of a pizza outlet. When I asked about how business was, he stated that they were a lot slower in the summer. In his experience, this was consistent with the rest of the pizza industry.

But, this is not the case in the rest of the local restaurant market here in the Vancouver area. In fact, during the week that we were speaking about, sales for the rest of the restaurant industry had risen dramatically.

Because his only experience was in the pizza industry, he didn’t have the context of what was going on in the rest of the industry.

The hard question is, what do you do once you know? We’ll leave that topic for another day.
