Dinner-Out Declines: Economy Not Sole Factor
To a market researcher like myself — I LOVE this link because it has wonderful REAL DATA. And, that data is not favorable to today’s restaurateur. Why? Well, the data shows that dinner usage of restaurants is off for ALL demographic groups. Great specific information such as (number of dinners out per year) - 18-31years (66); 32-43 years (63); 44-51years (60); 52-61years (56); 62 and over (49) much more at this link too — http://www.mediapost.com/publications/?fa=Articles.showArticle&art_aid=122816
