The chart below shows the percentage of their food budget the average family spent on restaurant meals in different years. The graph shows the number of meals eaten in fast food restaurants and sit-down restaurants.

The four pie charts, along with the line graph, provide the overview of the average household budget spent on meals in restaurants, and comparing the number of them eaten in two different types of restaurant from 1970 to 2000.

It is noticeable that home cooking mostly accounted for a larger proportion of the food budget in comparison with restaurant meals. According to the line chart, meals in both fast food and sitdown restaurants increased for the thirtieth year in a row.

During the first decade of the period, restaurant meals represented only a small fraction of the average household budget (10 per cent in 1970 and 15 per cent in 1980). By contrast, the equivalent figures for the food cooked at home were between 90 per cent and 85 per cent. However, the expenditure on restaurant meals gradually increased by 35 per cent throughout the last two decades of the period, and finally sharing the same proportion with home cooking as of 2000.

With respect to the number of meals served in two categories of restaurant given, fast food meals saw a significantly larger rise than in sitdown restaurants. By far the most dramatic increase in fast food meals was from 30 meals per year in 1980 to over 80 meals by 2000. Meanwhile, sitdown restaurant meals grew by 30 meals per year over the 30-year period, totalling 50 meals at period-end.
