Franchised fast-casual restaurants are expected to account for a significant market share in the coming years. This growth can be attributed to the convenience offered by these franchises through quick turnaround times, easy access, and availability of digital ordering options.
The U.S. restaurant industry is experiencing significant growth. By 2024, the industry is expected to exceed $1.10 trillion in sales for the first time, marking a substantial rebound from the pandemic years. Furthermore, between 2024 and 2032, the industry is projected to add 150,000 jobs per year on average, with total staffing levels reaching 16.9 million by 2032.
