According to the National Restaurant Association, in 2014, restaurants employed over 14 million people and achieved over $600 billion dollars in sales. Restaurants accounted for about 45% of the total dollars spent on food, and 45% of adults said restaurants are part of their daily life. This is good news for the restaurant industry because it means that there are a lot of people dining in restaurants. Unfortunately, this also means that there is an increase in the possibility of claims against restaurants.
