Earlier today, we received a sobering outlook on the massive economic pressures that are reshaping how Canadians dine out, and how often they do it. A whopping 8-in-10 people are cutting back due to the rising cost of living – even households who are making $100,000 per year. That is a significant red flag – and the experts know that it could have devastating consequences to the restaurant sector if this trend continues. In fact, skyrocketing operating costs have gutted profit margins to a razor-thin 4.1 percent, and new data from Restaurants Canada warns that 4-in-10 restaurant companies are either operating at a loss or just breaking even. How often are you dining out these days, and is that decision boiling down to money? Kristy Cameron sifts through the CFRA textboard and tackles today’s Question of the Day. We also hear from Chris, who runs a local Quiznos Sub. And finally, it’s a Thursday afternoon, which means it’s time to talk some gardening with gardening expert Carson Arthur!
