March 2026 DMV restaurant sales numbers are here!
Fast Casual and Full Service DMV restaurant sales saw more stable sales metrics during March 2026 compared to the month prior. Let's dig in!
Last month, Fast Casual and Full Service came in at 0% growth at the end of March compared to March 2025 sales.
In last month's 7-day moving average chart, both segments spent a lot more time with positive growth numbers, despite taking a slight dip during the week of St. Patrick's Day. The peaks coincide with warmer spring weather, which is an excellent sign as we head into more of it!
Delivery as a percentage of overall sales accounted for 12.11% of sales for the DMV, down quite a bit from last month, and 12.55% nationwide.
Restaurant sales were much less volatile throughout March, especially without the extreme weather impacts we saw during January and February. Between warmer weather and the Cherry Blossom Festival in April, we're feeling optimistic about next month's potential.
We'll see you in May!
