Using mobile phone data tracking visits and spending at more than 100,000 individual limited service restaurants across the country, we explore the potential sources of the surge. It cannot be explained by economies of scale, expanding market power, or a

There was a time when "fast food" was synonymous with "cheap food," but that's not always the case now due to rising inflation.

Share Restaurateur is one of the most difficult words for new students at the Culinary Institute of America to spell on their tests and papers. The spelling doesn’t seem logical. It would make sense that the person who owns or manages a restaurant would be known as a “restauranter” or “restauranteur.” But, neither of those are correct. The proper spelling is restaurateur.
