“2011
saw consumers reaffirm their
appetite for eating and drinking
away from home, despite the
consistent strain on the purse-
strings. The eating-out sector
responded with an array of
choice – all of which was good
news for the diner. However,
increasing competition, and price-
competition, led many operators
to struggle and others to forego
transactional activity in order to
wait for values, which dropped
during the year, to recover.”
