Commercial foodservice traffic to grow 1.7% 2012-2016
TORONTO -- Quick-service restaurant (QSR) outlets will likely see the greatest sales gains in the years ahead even as full-service restaurants (FSRs) become less popular, according to the first annual Canadian Chain Restaurant Industry Review, an extensive research report commissioned by GE Capital and compiled by fsSTRATEGY and NPD Group Canada. Today, QSRs capture 64% of total foot traffic and 44% of all sales at commercial restaurants, while FSRs see 25% of traffic and 49% of industry dollars.
