摘要:The 1990¡¯s were certainly a time
to eat out. Foodservice sales
grew by 49 percent, from $228
billion in 1990 to $339 billion in
1999. The big growth was in sales by
commercial foodservice establishments
that prepare, serve, and sell
meals and snacks to the general
public. Their sales more than doubled,
from $178 billion in 1990 to
$275 billion in 1999 (table 1).
