The State of Local Restaurants - Mississippi

THE STATE OF LOCAL RESTAURANTS 2018

Mississippi


 

We analyzed transactions for every day of the 2017 calendar year at 26,000 small, independent restaurants across America. The result is a comprehensive look at when restaurants earn the most money, when they seat the most guests, and which states make the most dough from patrons who #eatlocal.

What we learned about Mississippi
Restaurants in Mississippi typically follow national trends when it comes to daily and monthly sales trends. However, restaurants in The Magnolia State differ from most states with their top performing days happening over non-holiday weekends throughout early spring.

  • Transactions: How many individual payments restaurants process.
  • Ticket Size: How much patrons spend on average per transaction.
  • Daily Sales Revenue: How much revenue restaurants make per day.
