Consumers are choosing restaurants this holiday season, according to a new National Restaurant Association survey showing two-thirds (63%) of adults plan to eat out during the next several weeks, and half (48%) plan to order takeout or delivery.
“Our research confirms that restaurants serve a practical need during the holiday season—giving guests the gift of time so they can enjoy the warmth of good company with family and friends,” said Michelle Korsmo, president & CEO of the National Restaurant Association. “The data also reveal that takeout and delivery remain critical components of the guest experience for every age group. From Gen-Z to Baby Boomers, restaurants have options to meet every need and taste preference, in this season and throughout the year.”
