Additional Information

Scope And Methodology

The SBI Market Profile on the U.S. Foodservice Industry is a guide to the growing sales opportunities at commercial and noncommercial foodservices, as well as an analysis of the strategies the major competitors are implementing to boost bottom line performance. This comprehensive database covers U.S. away-from-home food and beverage spending, consumer demographics, industry cost structure and profitability, foodservice food and related item purchases, regional sales trends, and brand market shares. In addition, SBI has profiled the operators of the 20 leading foodservice chains.

The Executive Summary section analyzes U.S. Department of Agriculture data on U.S. spending on away-from-home foods and beverages (Section 1). Data trends include spending at commercial and noncommercial foodservices covering 20 different types of outlets. Outlets range from full-service and fast-food restaurants to correctional facilities. Spending trends include food sales, alcoholic drinks, as well as food supplied and donated. Pricing trends, comparing the increase in away-from-home with at-home food prices, were compiled from surveys of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys were also used to analyze household away-from-home food and alcoholic beverage spending by daypart and demographic characteristic (Section 2). Bureau of Labor Statistics survey data was used to calculate away-from-home food and beverage spending for households by income, age of household head, size of household, and region, and average purchases per household. Simmons Market Research Bureau data supplies demographic snapshots of visitors to U.S. fast-food restaurants and family restaurants/steak houses (Section 3). Demographic snapshots are also provided by daypart and for the top six brands in each sector. Market penetration rates are given for total U.S. households, and visitors by sex, age, race, income, education, occupation, size of family, households with children, and region.

U.S. Department of Commerce survey data was used to analyze sales trends of foodservices specializing (50% or more of total sales) in selling away-from-home food and beverages for the total U.S. and by state and regions (Sections 4 and 7). Sales trends are segmented for full-service restaurants, limited-service restaurants and snack bars, foodservice contractors, caterers, cafeterias, ice cream and frozen yogurt shops, and alcoholic drinking places. Commerce data was also used to evaluate the competitive environment (Section 5). The investigation of the industry’s cost structure and profitability was pulled together from various government agencies. Internal Revenue Service data provides eating and drinking place corporation operating ratios, and Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys provide information on the change in food and labor costs. Commerce data allowed SBI to calculate payroll’s share of sales by state, capital spending trends, and concentration ratios.

Data from the Department of Commerce’s Benchmark Input-Output Accounts provide information on the foodservice industry’s purchase of 50 types of foods and other industry supplies (Section 6). SBI also reviewed consumption of select foods and beverages in the United States in order to judge the direction of foodservice menus.

Industry data was supplemented with sales, number of units, and profit trends for the top 20 foodservice chains (Section 8). Data trends were used to calculate market shares. Data was extracted from public company documents, databases, and estimated by SBI. This data was compiled as part of the effort to profile the top 17 foodservice companies. Literature was also reviewed to uncover growth-and-profit-oriented strategies.

Action-oriented executives are urged to use this comprehensive statistical database and the competitor information to outpace overall industry growth, penetrate niche markets, target key demographics, introduce new products, and initiate profitable operating strategies. Executives are urged to compute their own company’s market share and compare their operating ratios to the industry averages as part of this process.
