Here is just a sample of the reports available.
2007/2008 Restaurant Industry Operations Report
Controlling costs in the restaurant business is critical. This annual National Restaurant Association study provides crucial financial data on cost of sales, gross profit, direct operating expenses and other performance measurements to help you see how your operation compares with those of a similar business profile. Includes data on tableservice restaurants broken down by check size (Under $15; $15-24.99; Over $25) and limited service restaurants. This top-selling publication allows restaurateurs to compare their financial statements to other restaurants with a similar check size. This report is prepared in cooperation with Deloitte. Specific reports are also available for the Mid-Atlantic Region and Pennsylvania (only where enough data was collected for a representative sample).
