Restaurant Business is one of the most respected business publications in the country, covering every part of the $1 trillion restaurant industry, from hot dog cart to McDonald’s. RB and its award-winning team cover everything from finance to marketing to operations to the broader economy. The publication features in-depth investigations, feature stories and packages, profiles, analysis, opinion and daily news, as well as a healthy selection of podcasts and short-form video. Its team is active on social media channels, including X, LinkedIn and TikTok. It has more than 3,000 subscribers to its paid RB+ subscription, which continues to grow in both subscriber count and revenue every year.

The selections here give you a great idea of the breadth of coverage and the innovative approach of the Restaurant Business team. RB features a great mix of news coverage, in-depth enterprise stories, major packages and unique research.

Our entry is anchored by our package of stories on the impact the pandemic had on the restaurant industry five years later, an innovative use of articles, videos and podcasts. We include our packages on the Top 500 restaurant chains and the Top 100 independent restaurants to showcase our data capabilities. We also include columns, features, our annual Restaurant Leader of the Year award winner and other stories, as well as our podcast series on AI in the restaurant industry.
