Reporting periods
Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly
Participating operators receive daily and weekly benchmarks. Monthly and quarterly market reviews are produced for management and board reporting, with annual market reports as coverage matures.
Revisions are published transparently: where a participant resubmits corrected data, the affected benchmark periods are restated and marked as revised.
Market coverage grows with participation
Additional participating restaurants improve sample sufficiency, which strengthens benchmarks and extends the markets RMI can publish.
