Swedish restaurant industry explodes
Swedish restaurants are on fire. Last year they took in 56 billion kronor and the industry is still looking up.

During the same time, profits have increased 33 percent to 56 billion kronor.
“The total number of employed and restaurant and pubs’ profits have increased significantly during the past 15 years and it is going to continue going up,” said Lars Paulsson, head of Resurs, the company that did the study.
“Food programs on TV and more money in people's wallet explains the large increase in the number of restaurant visits in recent years.

Locals in Kronoberg and in Södermanland spend the least with at an average of 4,000 kronor per person.
