Barbecue restaurant

A barbecue restaurant is a restaurant that specializes in barbecue-style cuisine and dishes.^[1]^[2] Barbecue restaurants may open relatively early compared to other restaurants, in part to optimize sales while barbecued foods being slow-cooked by the process of smoking are being tended to by restaurant personnel on premises.^[2] In some instances, this can enable the sales of barbecued meats that began being smoked the night before the next business day.^[2] Per these logistics, a significant portion of their sales may occur during lunchtime.^[2] Additionally, high lunch turnover at barbecue restaurants may occur per the foods being cooked and sold in large batches.^[2] Popular food items may sell out earlier compared to others, which may encourage customers to arrive earlier.^[2] In January 2015, the U.S. National Restaurant Association forecast "barbecue, Italian food and fried chicken" to be "top perennial menu favorites in 2015".^[3]
