Fast casual sales significantly outpaced other segments in Q3

December 17, 2014

New research from Technomic's Financial Dashboard finds that the fast casual restaurant segment outperformed all others with nearly 8 percent growth in same-store sales during Q3 2014. Same-store sales within casual dining and quick-service restaurants increased by 1.9 percent and 1.2 percent during the same period, respectively.

"Our quarterly Technomic sales tracker continues to report low restaurant growth across all segments but fast casual. Growth rates around 2 percent continue to signal heated competition for share of stomach and strong trends in consumer frugality," Technomic EVP Darren Tristano said in a release.
