Total estimated sales of the restaurants, caterers and taverns industry reached $3.5 billion in May, a 3.2% increase from May 2006 on a year-over-year basis. (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 (+3.8%). Sales for full service restaurants rose 3.3%. These two sectors accounted for more than 86% of the industry’s sales in May. The food service contractors sector also increased (+8.8%). That sector accounted for more than 5% of the industry’s sales in May.
