The food service industry is absolutely gargantuan in the United States. It encompasses everything related to food prepared outside of oneâs home, from full-service and quick-service (e.g., fast food) restaurants to catering, cafes, private chefs, and more. Statista reports that the largest share of employment in the US food service industry came from waiters and waitresses in 2022. On the other side of the scale, private cooks made up the smallest share of employment that year.
In 2022, the American food service and drinking place industry as a whole reached earnings of a jaw-dropping $975.9 billion. Thatâs just shy of a trillion!
In 2023, that trillion-dollar mark was breached, with the sales in the industry reaching an eye-watering $1.09 trillion, supporting 13.2 million employees. Statista notes that there were over 2.1 million servers in the US in 2022, and more than 2.2 million in 2023.
