Restaurant Food Trends For 2008 | www.quazen.com
As this first quarter of 2008 comes to an end, what's ahead for the Restaurant Industry in Q-3, Q-3 and Q-4? Commodity Prices escalating at unprecedented rates, customer traffic softening, labor costs rising, bottom lines dwindling, talent pools shrinking, facility expenses uncontrollable, oil prices at all time highs, the U.S.Dollar at all time lows, Wall Street on an unbelievable roller coaster, Banks and Financial Institutions failing and laying off ... Watch out ! ! There is not one Restaurant Segment that is in a 'safe' position - not QSR, Casual Theme, Casual Ethnic, Fine Dining, nor High-End Steak & Seafood. No, not one.
