Beverages on the Rise in Restaurants
Tea continues to be a popular beverage choice among consumers eating out at restaurants. Below is a recent survey published in the November 2012 issue of Beverage World. One important finding was that Tap Water was the lead growth beverage and Iced Tea was the revenue-generating beverage driving growth across restaurant segments. Excellent news indeed.
