5 Reasons to Give a Restaurant Gift Card for the Holidays

According to the National Restaurant Association, there are more than 980,000 restaurants in the country making it a $660 billion industry. Why does America have so many restaurants and people spend so much in them? The answer is simple: we are a country that likes to dine out. Keeping that in mind, those who are trying to decide what to purchase for holiday gifts this year may want to consider restaurant gift cards for several family members and friends on their list.

“Just about everyone likes to dine out and especially when they are not picking up the tab for the meal,” explains Ryan Fichter, the executive chef at Rialto, a new Italian restaurant in Georgetown. “People enjoy giving and getting gift cards. They have become a sign of our times and are not going away anytime soon.”
