Restaurant Hospitality
While restaurants shouldn’t expect significant changes in 2018 as a result of trade-war talk, restaurateurs should keep an eye on 2019. The current expectation is for food costs to remain about the same next year, but restaurants most exposed to potential protein-cost deflation include those that specialize in one type of meat, such as steakhouses and chicken-wing concepts.

Nation's Restaurant News
In a discussion during the NRA Show, supermarket expert Phil Lempert said foodservice in retail was currently growing at around 12 percent to 13 percent annually. But to run those operations successfully, you can’t just promote your deli manager or augment that roast chicken you already offer with macaroni and cheese.
