This issue of RB Quarterly features our annual look at the Technomic Top 500. The year was another difficult one, but beverages once again led the way, with some surprisingly strong growth brands.
We also explore which chain restaurants won big in 2025—from 7 Brew’s meteoric rise to become the fourth-largest coffee chain, to Chili’s leading the casual-dining comeback, and why pizza is the only category in the red. See how innovation and smart strategies are driving success even in challenging times.

This edition of RB Quarterly features our profile on Christine Barone, who helped guide Dutch Bros into one of the industry’s most influential chains.
