Green Restaurant Trends
From MediaPost News
While eco-friendliness isn't a make-or-break factor in choosing a QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) for most consumers, it may encourage greater frequency by making consumers feel good about their choice, judging from a new survey from M/A/R/C Research.
Did You Know?Last year 1.2 million U.S. restaurants and food service facilities used more than 3 billion gallons of vegetable oil.
Utility and waste disposal costs account for a median of 2.3% to 3.6% of sales depending on the type of restaurant.
According to a 2007 survey by the National Restaurant Association, almost two-thirds of restaurateurs expect to invest in energy saving equipment in the coming year. Furthermore, consumers are willing to patronize restaurants that do so.
