    What the numbers show

    Most of the channel sits outside the 10 largest metro areas: 82% of the restaurants in the United States are elsewhere.

    Restaurants are a bigger part of the market in the United States than in most countries: 60% of all outlets, against a median of 47%.

    Counted by restaurants, the United States is the third largest market in this database.

    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.

    How the shares are defined

    Put these numbers to work

    Plan regional coverage

    With 82% of the restaurants outside the largest metro areas, regional reps or distributor partners reach more of the channel than city teams alone.
