RESTAURANT PERFORMANCE INDEX

 

Join your local restaurant association and keep your finger on the pulse of the restaurant community in your city.  Become part of the PMUSA Restaurant Performance Index (RPI) today. 

 

Independent restaurant owners in regional cities across America have become critical elements of local downtown

economies long ago abandoned by traditional retail and services businesses.  It is more important than ever for owners and managers to have all the information they need to operate in the most efficient and profitable way.

Data analytics is expanding across America as a tool for business owners, managers and employees to improve their performance and ultimately make more money, improve cash flow, formulate better policies, or win more games.  Big data has long been a part of economic and financial market analysis, is changing the sports world, and it can help the restaurant industry too.

Information is knowledge and provides for greater certainty. Regional restaurant owners and managers no longer have to operate in the dark.  With the RPI channel checks can be reduced and trends can be identified in restaurant traffic, average check amounts, sales & costs, alcohol sales, labor demand and costs, online ordering and reservations, menu prices, taxes and regulations, plus more.  The RPI can also be used as a tool for short-term forecasting (6-12 months) of the same variables listed above providing greater future certainty for budgeting, planning, expansion, and the overall trend in the restaurant sector in your city. 

The RPI is a statistical tool to help you better mange your company, improve profitability, manage operational risk, and shape the sector.  Be a part, join today.

The RPI provides important data and a full view of the health and performance of your cities restaurant sector.
