How the numbers are defined
- Restaurants
- Open restaurants (full and casual service, including venues listed simply as 'restaurant'). Approximate: the channel comes from the venue's main public listing category, so some quick-service venues and cafe-restaurants listed as 'restaurant' are counted here. Permanently closed and temporarily closed venues excluded.
Put these numbers to work
Plan regional coverage
With 73% of the restaurants outside the largest metro areas, regional reps or distributor partners reach more of the channel than city teams alone.
