Restaurant industry
Article Abstract:
The restaurant sector, taken as a whole, would not appear to hold much promise for investors. But individual stocks within that sector could prove exciting. For the overall industry, comparable-unit sales have been flat or slightly lower. High costs are also a matter of concern to the industry. Chicken prices are high, and higher feed costs could ultimately result in higher beef prices.

Restaurant industry
Article Abstract:
The large number of fast food restaurants make the industry highly competitive, but emphasis on higher quality and distinctive new products may replace price wars. Non-fast food restaurants focus on pleasing decor in addition to food quality. Investors may find bargains in the shares of newer restaurant chains such as Starbucks and Papa John's that have low P/Es.
