For the past 50 years, the restaurant industry has been made up of three primary segments: fast food, casual dining, and fine dining. Nowadays, consumers still want their food fast... but they also want it healthy and at great value. That’s why a new market segment... with restaurants like California Tortilla... is taking over the restaurant scene! It’s called "fast casual." It’s still new, but it’s already dominating the industry... and is soon expected to hit double-digit increases!

Ethnic flavors are making the biggest moves and have been identified as th
e single hottest food category over the next five years.1 What’s more... the market growth for ethnic foods will be 50% over the next decade!2 And Mexican—along with other global flavors-is leading the way.3
