This marks the fourth consecutive month in which sales growth has exceeded 5%, highlighting the sector\u2019s continued recovery and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By segment, caterers led the way with a 7.3% increase, reflecting strong demand for events and gatherings. In contrast, drinking places experienced a decline of 2.1%, making it the weakest-performing segment. Both quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and full-service restaurants maintained steady growth, posting increases of 6.8% and 6.2%, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the provincial level, Saskatchewan recorded the strongest growth at 8.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When adjusting for inflation, however, the picture is more modest: real sales rose by 3.1% overall, with QSR sales increasing by just 2.1% in real terms. This suggests that part of the growth is being driven by higher menu prices alongside increased traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key driver of the sector\u2019s strength in 2025 has been the rise in domestic tourism. With many Canadians opting to travel within the country\u2014partly due to hesitation around visiting the United States amid current economic and political uncertainties\u2014restaurants in tourist-heavy regions are seeing notable gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more insights, visit the Fast Facts dashboard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/fast-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/rc-headshots-79-of-256-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Elliott\" class=\"wp-image-21058 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">As the&nbsp;<strong>Chief Economist and Vice President of Research for Restaurants Canada, Chris Elliott<\/strong>&nbsp;manages and produces a comprehensive research program that has made Restaurants Canada a leading source of information for and about Canada\u2019s $124-billion foodservice industry.
