About

  • The Restaurant verticals featured at the Business Strata:G® site reflect the definitions and designations of the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS).
  • The top of each industry vertical page includes the NAICS code and the NAICS definition for that industry segment.
  • The source data is Risk Management Association's Annual Statement Studies. As you may know, RMA collects financial statements from banks, and aggregates the findings for all industries.
  • RMA presents their data in 3 sections: the Top Quartile, the Middle Quartiles, the Bottom Quartile. RMA data also is available by five different ranges of annual sales volume. 
  • We have identified five key ratios (from the dozens of ratios available) that are particularly important for Owners of Restaurants to monitor, project, and manage:
    • GROSS MARGIN Percent
    • OPERATING EXPENSE Percent
    • Pre-Tax PROFIT Percent
    • CURRENT Ratio
    • DEBT-TO-WORTH Ratio
  • Our exclusive Benchmark Trend Charts show the median value reported by RMA for each of these key ratios each year.
