IFMA The Food Away from Home Association defines the "food-away-from-home" (FAFH) industry concurrent with the USDA’s Economic Research Service definition, as food purchased and consumed outside of the home. This category covers a broad range of establishments, including restaurants, fast food outlets, cafes, bars, schools, hospitals, and other institutions. Additionally, it includes ready-to-eat foods from grocery and convenience stores, such as deli or prepared items. In 2023, consumer spending on FAFH reached $1.5 trillion, accounting for 58.5% of total U.S. food expenditures—a historic high that highlights Americans' increasing preference for dining out due to lifestyle changes and convenience factors.
