Although January’s (0.3%) and February’s (0.8%) SSS declines reflect an improvement over the (1.1%) growth rate reported for 2017. The last two months have reversed the positive momentum experienced in Q4 2017, and have revived concerns that the industry may not yet be positioned for sustained growth. Same-store traffic declined (3.0%) in January and (3.1%) in February, February SSS fell by (0.8%) while respectively; representing the worst performance since September 2017. comparable traffic slid (3.1%) Although traffic dropped by only (0.1%) compared to January, the negative effect on sales was amplified by a significant slowdown in the growth of guest checks. However, favorable macroeconomic conditions, strong consumer confidence, and the fact that some of the decline in February sales could be attributed to factors external to the industry, fuels optimism for increased restaurant spending in upcoming months. Fast casual was the top performing Severe winter storms and record rainfall hit large regions of the U.S., segment for the first month in three years primarily in the Midwest and East Coast, causing significant losses in restaurant sales during the last two months. The three worst performing regions were the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and New England, each experiencing more than (2.0%) declines in SSS. If sales from these three regions were excluded from all calculations, restaurant sales would have remained essentially flat.
