Restaurants can grow their business by investing in their local community in several ways. Keeping money circulating within the community supports local schools, parks, and services while also creating and maintaining local jobs. The analysis found that customers often spend on food within a mile of where they work and look to buy lunch several days a week, presenting opportunities for restaurants to partner with nearby businesses and promote loyalty programs. Investing in the community through promotions, events, and partnerships can help restaurants increase sales, reach more neighborhood customers, and build brand loyalty.
