Restaurant Demand Remains Steady Despite Pressure on Consumers

Dow Jones07-22 00:52

1252 ET - Demand for restaurants is resilient even as customers face various pressures, D.A. Davidson analysts Matt Curtis and Andrew Tompkins said in a research note. A survey conducted by the analysts found that convenience and speed of service helped attract customers, while higher menu prices and personal financial pressures were the main headwinds. The firm says Texas Roadhouse, Chili's and The Cheesecake Factory are the best bang for your buck while Kura Sushi, Portillo's and Sweetgreen were perceived as more expensive. (grace.yoon@wsj.com)
