More than 67 percent of the Top 500 restaurant chains posted at least nominal sales increases. Only 156 of Top 500 chains suffered sales declines in 2013 compared to 168 in 2012.
Both winners and losers appeared in every segment and menu category.
These widely mixed results demonstrate the overall competitiveness of the industry and the need for suppliers and operators to carefully identify and focus on the winners.
International performance by the Top 500 restaurant chains continued to outperform domestic growth in 2013. International sales increases (4.4 percent) outpaced U.S. sales growth (3.5 percent); international unit growth was up 9 percent versus 2.2 percent for U.S. units.
