Restaurant operators said the improved sales were a result of more customers and larger check averages, Wagner said. The surge was felt across all sectors — fast-casual, casual and fine dining. Karen Bremer, executive director of the Georgia Restaurant Association, said restaurateurs that she has spoken with are cautiously optimistic about the numbers.
