The new publications contain original research and projections critical to strategically planning for the future and are available at a 50-percent discount for NRA members at Restaurant.org/Store.
“As the restaurant industry’s primary trade association, it’s our job to provide our members with the credible research they need to accurately plan for future business and profitability growth,” says Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the Research and Knowledge Group for the NRA. “Whether it is trends in business sentiment and expected challenges, workforce demographics, or analysis of consumer attitudes toward technology, the savvy operator applies this information to operational and marketing plans to hit the mark with consumers not only today, but into the future.”
