SURVEY: MORE THAN 2 IN 5 CASUAL DINING RESTAURANTS LIKELY TO CLOSE THIS YEAR

SURVEY: MORE THAN 2 IN 5 CASUAL DINING RESTAURANTS LIKELY TO CLOSE THIS YEAR

COMBINATION OF RISING COSTS, FEDERAL WORKFORCE CUTS, DECLINING TRAFFIC JEOPARDIZE LOCAL INDUSTRY

More than two in five full-service casual restaurants in the District say they are likely to close in the coming year, according to a new survey by the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington (RAMW). The survey, to be released at tomorrow's RAMW Annual Meeting, shows an industry struggling simultaneously with falling sales and customer traffic, escalating food costs, major federal layoffs, and the ongoing impact of tipped wage increases. The situation is particularly severe for neighborhood full-service restaurants that have long defined DC's dining culture.
