Wednesday, November 30, 2005 Restaurants, caterers and tavernsSeptember 2005 (preliminary)Total estimated sales of the restaurants, caterers and taverns industry reached $3.3 billion in September, a 3.1% increase over September 2004 on a year-over-year basis. (Data are neither seasonally adjusted, nor adjusted for inflation). The largest year-over-year increases, at the provincial level, were recorded in Alberta (+9.7%), Quebec (+5.2%), Newfoundland and Labrador (+4.8%) and Saskatchewan (+3.7%). The year-over-year increase in sales, at the national level, was due to higher sales at limited (+3.6%) and full service (+3.3%) restaurants. These two sectors accounted for 85% of industry sales in September. Food service contractors (+8.6%) and caterers (+9.1%) also posted significant growth. These two sectors account for about 8% of industry sales. Note: Sales estimates at the provincial and national level were revised from January 2005. The revisions include late data received from respondents and the corresponding updates were made. Estimated data were replaced by reported data (once they became available), as well companies that were not part of the industry group were reclassified. To obtain the revised data, refer to the following CANSIM table. Available on CANSIM: table 355-0001. Definitions, data sources and methods: survey number 2419.
