Will business be better in 2025 than it was in 2024? The answer is “yes,” according to 59% of restaurant development + design readers participating in a pulse survey fielded by the magazine in October.

In addition, 22% of readers expect 2025 to be flat compared to 2024 and just 3% expect business to be down from 2024.

A very honest 16% of readers said they just don’t know.
