Changing the Face of Foodservice

Each year, the US trade magazine Nation’s Restaurant News honours five emerging restaurant concepts that are changing the face of foodservice. For 2016, the brands highlight everything from natural and local sourcing – in both fullservice and fast-casual versions – as well as juices, Middle Eastern-influenced menus and fusion mash-ups in the hot area of tacos.

Top 100 US Chains: Fast-Casual Sets the Pace

The US restaurant chains in this year’s NRN Top 100 list increased their latest annual aggregate sales by 4.6% to US$ 232.2 bn, compared to growth of 3.2% in the preceding year. The number of locations rose to 190,962 (+2.1%). The fastest-growing segments driving that growth are headed by limited-service (LSR) Mexican restaurants, followed by chicken- and beverage-snack concepts. Although the traditional burger‘s share of Top 100 sales has slipped for the last two years in a row, it remains the largest segment, with almost 32% of sales followed by casual dining with 17%. www.nrn.com
