The Opportunity

U. S. Dining Out Continues to Increase
For Americans, eating out has become a way of life. Despite the recession, customers are still eating and ordering out. According to the National Restaurant Association’s 2010 Restaurant Industry Forecast, the following trends are expected in 2010:

• With the economic downturn easing, the restaurant industry is expected to show gradual improvement in 2010,
• Restaurant industry sales will grow by 2.5% in 2010 over 2009 and they are projected to reach $580 billion. When adjusted for inflation, 2010 sales will be essentially flat, which is an improvement over the 1.2 and 2.9 percent negative growth in real sales that the industry experienced in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
• The restaurant industry remains one of the nation’s largest private-sector employers with its 12.7 million employees, comprising 9 percent of the U.S. workforce.
• Restaurant industry job growth is expected to resume in 2010, and the industry is projected to add 1.3 million career and employment opportunities by 2020.
• Consumers forced to cut back on spending say they aren’t dining out as often as they would like, and this pent-up demand will turn into restaurant traffic as economic recovery continues.

The typical American consumer now is almost as likely to spend just as many dollars on food away from home as on food prepared at home. Government statistics show a continuing trend towards dining out as the fast pace lifestyle of today shows no signs of slowing down. According to a report in 2006 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (ERS), Americans spend 48.9 percent of their food dollars away from home– the highest percentage on record. That figure was only 37% thirty years ago.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, (USDA) there has been a trend toward increased food consumption away from home over the last several decades (see charts below). This trend is attributed to an ongoing increased demand for entertainment and convenience.

Restaurant Trends
Restaurant sales continue to grow decade over decade. Sales will top $580 billion dollars in 2010. A whopping 59% of adults say there are more restaurants they enjoy going to now than there were two years ago. The following graph shows the growth in restaurant sales. One factor that will fuel this segment of the industry, for decades, is the 78 million baby boomers in the United States, most with disposable income. Many baby boomers are described as savvy diners that possess demanding expectations of dining service and experiences.
It is estimated that for every dollar spent by the consumer at a restaurant adds an additional $1.98 spent in other industries related to the restaurant industry. Furthermore, for every $1 million in restaurant sales 42 jobs are generated for the nation’s economy.
Presently, 7-out-of-10 eating and drinking establishments are independently owned and operated; local restaurants remain as popular as ever and are growing at a substantial rate. The majority of eating and drinking places are small businesses with fewer than 20 employees.
Restaurants also provide management opportunities. The number of foodservice managers from 2006 to 2016 is expected to increase by 12% and 9-out-of-10 of these managers will start as an hourly employee. Impressively, the average salary of 3-out-of-5 foodservice managers is $50,000 or more; the NRA reports 28% of adults got their first job experience at a restaurant.

  How To Be A Great Leader To Your Group
  
  Many people want to learn about leadership skills because they are such an important part of life. These skills can be used in many different aspects and for different reasons. They can be used for work or or play. Read this article to learn more about becoming a leader.
  
  Sincerity plays a major part in leadership. The people that you are leading may come to you with problems. These problems should be listened to and addressed. It may be easy to brush off a problem when it's not the most important matter. Your team will feel better about you being the leader if you can sincerely listen to and solve their problems.
  
  Promotions, bonuses and raises should always be fairly distributed and based on performance. Don't simply promote the person who has been working with you the longest or hand out the biggest raise to a family member. Your employees will be more motivated when they know that they can earn tangible rewards for working hard.
  
  Your team is going to judge you by your actions. For instance, your selections for projects, reasons for hiring, firing and more are all important. Demonstrating favoritism and failing to reward good work is sure to sink morale and hinder productivity.
  
  Many successful leaders have used this idea to make positive changes by involving the team, or workforce. Offer an incentive, such as a gift card or other small reward, for people who are successful at implementing a positive change in the work environment. The changes can be acknowledged, and awards given at a monthly luncheon, or other get-together.
  
  To be a good business leader, always keep an eye out for more than your current problems and urgent matters. What that means is to always be open to opportunities that present themselves. You never know when you might make the right potential professional contact or see a chance to make some money suddenly. Always be prepared for these moments.
  
  When in business, try to always lead by example and never just by title. Even if you are not a supervisor or manager, try to be as good at your job as the person above you. This can be a great way to personally move up the ladder, especially if the higher ups see you motivate higher productivity in everyone around you.
  
  A good leader is able to help develop strong leadership skills in others. If you try to micro-manage every detail of your business, you won't have time to look at the bigger picture. Having trustworthy employees who can lead others will give you the chance to delegate responsibilities as your company continues to grow.
  
  You must listen at all times to be an effective leader. They will often have a lot of ideas as to how to take your business in new directions that you may have never thought of. After they get an understanding of your vision, let them tell you what they heard and how they think improvements can be made.
  
  You may be a leader, or manager, but you are a human first. We all make mistakes from time to time. If you find that you have made a mistake, do not try to hide it, hoping no one will find out. You will attain a new level of respect by admitting your mistakes to your team, asking for their input and even apologizing for a mistake.
  
  Develop skill at decision-making. You have to be able to make sound decisions quickly and decisively. Sometimes you have to take risks. If you are able to use available information, your intuition and vision, you will make great decisions quickly and become a leader others will follow. Never underestimate your ability to make decisions. Sometimes the best decisions do not work out the way you assumed they would; however, you can still learn from these decisions.
  
  Stress is bound to be a large part of any leadership role. Instead of letting stress contaminate your goals and mindset, find ways to stay positive. Many times, if there is a deadline, or other issue, that is causing undue stress, you can break it down into smaller parts. It is easier to be positive when you feel less pressure.
  
  Besides recognizing your employees talents, you must also know your own strengths and weaknesses. Evaluate your own abilities often and work to improve on those areas that are weaker. Become a better manager by attending leadership training courses, continuing your formal education and adopting a mentor who is a successful business leader.
  
  When coordinating the efforts of more than one group, it's easy to get caught up in the us-versus-them mentality. Unfortunately, this way of thinking breeds unhealthy competition, resentment, and conflict. Focus instead on identifying a single goal or purpose that is shared by all parties. Emphasize the shared benefits of meeting these goals to improve motivation all around.
  
  Create an environment where everyone's point of view can be heard. Dissenting opinions and debate can lead to more creative solutions. In an environment where people are afraid to disagree, the status quo will stand. Have weekly meetings where you actually stimulate debate about specific aspects of your business and listen to every opinion and suggestion.
  
  You can become an innovative leader by stepping outside the box. Most leaders, and employers, look for problems, and try to find ways to fix them. Instead, try to focus on the strengths of your team, and build on them. You will achieve much more with a strengthened workforce than a few easily-solved issues.
  
  For effective business leadership, good communication is essential. Good leaders listen to suggestions from employees and consider what they have to say. They also give timely feedback on suggestions and comments in a positive and respectful manner. This allows both the leader and the employees to get to know each other better.
  
  There are many different things to learn about leadership and how to become a leader. Since reading this article you know more about leadership skills. You also know how to use these skills. Remember them and put them to use in different parts of your life and see an improvement overall.
