Running a restaurant isn’t for the faint of heart. From balancing the books to managing short-staffed shifts (again), operators are being pulled in every direction. Add rising food costs to the mix, and it can feel like you’re constantly putting out fires.
Sound familiar?
Many restaurants today are forced to make tough decisions—like scaling back on high-quality ingredients or stretching a small team to cover peak hours. The good news? You don’t have to face these challenges alone.
That’s where Dining Alliance steps in.
Challenges Facing Independent Restaurants
The numbers tell the story, in 2024:
- 95% of operators said food costs were a significant challenge for their restaurant.
- 54% of restaurants had changed menu items to address higher costs.
- 32% of operators said they didn’t have enough employees to support customer demand.
Independent operators are being asked to do more with less—less time, less help, and tighter margins.
