In 2015, restaurant sales are expected to hit a record high, topping $709 billion, according to the National Restaurant Association.
It's a good time for these businesses: Revenues are up, and restaurants are opening new locations and starting new ventures, says Heidi Strommen, CPL, president of ProHost USA, which writes restaurants, including fine, family and fast casual dining.
Along with bars and nightclubs, there are about 45,000 establishments across the U.S. with a combined revenue of $20 billion to $25 billion a year, notes Orlando Frasca, president of RISDirect.com, an online broker.
