Sustainability & Social Responsibility  
 
Restaurant operators are more optimistic about the economy.
According to the National Restaurant Association thirty-four percent of restaurant operators say they expect economic conditions to improve in six months, up from 27 percent last month, according to Association research. Although restaurant operators reported better sales and traffic overall in December, capital spending remains weak. Thirty-one percent say they made a capital expenditure for equipment, expansion or remodeling in the last three months, down from 33 percent the prior month. 2010 Restaurant Industry Forecast Available Free to Members

Miller cooks up economic solutions to Local 121
By: Meg Fraser
Warwick Beacon
 
Two and a half years ago, the managers at AS220 approached Josh Miller about starting up a restaurant. Ready to embark on a campaign for the District 28 Senate seat serving Cranston and Warwick, opening a new business was the last thing on his mind. When Miller got the green light to create a restaurant promoting locally grown products, though, it was an offer he couldn't refuse. And now, the senator is pushing that agenda further than he could have imagined.
