Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: Data in this report were derived from a survey of the market for food away from home, which is a joint effort of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service and the food industry, spearheaded by the Institutional Foodservice Manufacturers Association, the National Restaurant Association, and the National Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers. This report makes available selected statistics on the number of establishments that constitute the away-from-home market for food, the kinds of business represented, and the types of food service offered. A delineation of the industry in terms of number of kind-of-business establishments by their annual sales volume and types of food service offered is of immediate concern to producers, manufacturers, and distributors who serve this market.
