Statistics that analysts collected over 10 months of the year showed that from June to August, the attendance of restaurants and cafes was evenly distributed across the days of the week, while at other times of the year, attendance peaks on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday. On average, 8 weekends in a 31-day month accounted for 49% of all paid invoices.

Payments of bills during these hours amounted to 54% of the total, of which 28% were made at lunchtime, the remaining 26% in the evening.
The average bill in city catering establishments was 1.5 thousand rubles. , and in upscale restaurants with gourmet cuisine — 5 thousand rubles. At the same time, in restaurants of both categories, they spend 76% more in the evening than during lunch.
In addition, the study showed that 40% of Russians prefer to split the check. Most often this happens when a large company comes to the restaurant.
