Restaurants Ready For Halloween Weekend

QSRweb.com:

New research by the National Restaurant Association predicts that 20 percent of Americans will order takeout or delivery from a restaurant this Halloween.

Among younger adults (age 18-34) and families with trick-or-treating children, that figure rises to 33 percent and 28 percent, respectively.

The NRA’s research also shows that 16 percent of adults will go out to a restaurant or bar to celebrate Halloween during the weekend or on Oct. 31.

“While not a traditional holiday for dining out, Halloween is clearly an occasion where restaurants play a major role in celebrations, according to our new research,” said Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the Research and Knowledge Group for the National Restaurant Association.
