One of the early adopters of MVaaS technology has been the restaurant industry. As such, the economic strength of the segment is of particular importance to vendors in the space.
On Friday the National Restaurant Association released its forecast for 2009. It is encouraging. While concerns about the overall economy continue, the NRA forecasts only a slight decrease in sales versus 2008 (1%, when adjusted for inflation).
Not surprisingly, certain segments of the industry are expected to out-perform others. For example, quick-service restaurants are expected to post gains well ahead of the full-service and eating-and drinking segments.
The bottom line is that the industry is expected to display resiliency in the coming year. This is good news to those of us who serve them.
