> only 10% of reservation taking restaurants in international markets
Surely 10% of the international market would far exceed 50% of the US market? The US is only 4.5% of the world's population.
- jacquesm 12y agoRestaurants are strongly tied into local culture. What works in one country may very well not work in another.
- matwood 12y agoPopulation has little to do with it. What percentage of world restaurant reservations are made in the US? For example, I don't know if people in India or China make reservations or is it more customary to show up or maybe have standing reservations.
- smackfu 12y agoThe key missing stat is what percentage of restaurants are reservation-taking restaurants, in various countries. And what percentage of those restaurants are using a point-of-sale computer system.
- nabraham 12y agoYes - you need the % that is reservation taking vs walk-in. That said, my 10% stat is from their 10Ks and relates only to the markets they are in.
