choosing a restaurant What looks beyond dispute is that in the pie chart , the percentage of factors consumers consider when choosing a restaurant was illustrated in 2017. Among all the five categories, the percentage of feature, service and environment are highest , accounting for 36.3%, 27 4% and 24.3% respectively. On the contrary, the statistics of price and others account for merely 7.3% and 4.7% respectively, the lowest among the five groups. As a matter of fact , there are a host of complicated factors that may contribute to this phenomenon and , personally I contend , the two most noteworthy ones could be summarized as follows . In the first place , the dramatic economic development of our country brings about higher disposable income , allowing the public to think over an increasing amount of factors rather than price merely when choosing a restaurant . What’s more , the boom of the food service industry has provided the public with a larger variety of choices in terms of the environment, the features as well as the service of restaurants. Last but not least, people have changed their concept of consumption and put more emphasis on such aspects as the environment ,the features as well as the service of restaurants. Taking into consideration what has been mentioned above , we may safely come into the conclusion that the chart is a perfect index of the nation's economy , society as well as people's rising standard of living . Meanwhile , in future we can probably expect to see a growing number of people favoring unique and quality dishes in sipte of their price , which would undoubtedly be both opportunity and challenge for catering industry.
