BURGERS HAVE DOMINATED THE INDUSTRY
       • Top 50 fast food chains are dominated by restaurants
         specializing in burgers.17
       • Over the past five years many traditional burger
         chains have struggled with flat or declining sales as
         consumers move away from generic brands towards
         niche or gourmet offerings.18
       • The “better burger ” trend has been the best
         performing part in the segment over the past five
         years.19

WHAT IS FAST-CASUAL?
           • A fast-casual restaurant is a relatively fresh and rapidly growing concept, positioned somewhere between
             fast food restaurants and casual dining restaurants.
           • They provide counter service and offer more customized, freshly prepared and high-quality food than
             traditional Quick Service Restaurants(QSR), all in an upscaled and inviting ambiance.20
           • Although fast-casual is the smallest portion of the restaurant industry, its growth far outshines the rest of the
             industry. The sales of fast casual industry grew 13.5% in 2014, and revenue grew 10.4% from 2014 to 2015.
             The restaurant industry as a whole, in comparison, grew only 5.3% in 2014 and 5.3% in 2014.21
