Restaurants look forward to a solid summer season

Restaurants expect business to stay strong during the summer even as consumers express concerns about the high price of goods and services. Restaurant patrons cut back on their trips to eateries last May, June and July. “Inflation and the economy are still more top of mind to consumers in terms of their financial planning, rather than any sort of fun or anticipation for travel,” said Huy Do, research and insights manager at Datassential.
