How Group Size Impacts Dining Choices
Have you ever wondered why your restaurant preferences change depending on how many people are in your group? The relationship between group size and restaurant type is more than coincidence. Let’s break it down!
Table for One or Two: Quick and Easy
Small groups often lean toward fast food or quick-service spots. Why? It’s all about speed and simplicity. Popular choices include:
- Cheese Fries – Perfect for sharing (or not).
- Chicken Philly Sandwiches – Big enough to split but likely too good to share.
- 6 Wings – A snack that’s just right.

Group sizes tend to grow during holidays and special events. Think:
- Winter Holidays – Larger parties, comfort food cravings.

- Game Days – Wings, fries, and Philly Cheese Steaks dominate orders.
