May shows improvement versus April
Restaurant guest sentiment continues to improve month to month, according to a June COVID-19 business update from data-analytics firm Black Box. LSRs are improving their sales at a much faster pace than full-service restaurants and are taking a more cautious approach when it comes to reopening dining rooms. A major reason is that LSRs can afford to wait: Many of them have a good off-premises game, grounded in the drive-thru or curbside pickup experience. In addition, a majority of LSR orders are to-go.
