Mother’s Day is the No. 13 day of the year for consumer spending at local restaurants in Texas, according to an analysis of transactions at 42,000 local eateries by Womply, a provider of CRM and marketing software for small businesses. However, the day before Mother’s Day is much busier, as patrons pack into Texas restaurants to treat mom to brunch or dinner, making it the No. 1 day of the year. On that day, average daily revenue at local restaurants surges to $1,685, a 40% increase over an average day. That sales increase is driven by a 15% bump in transaction volume and a 22% increase in purchase price.     

In Dallas-Fort Worth, Mother’s Day is the No. 3 day of the year for consumer spending at local restaurants, according to Womply. Daily revenue increases to $2,294.33, up 64% over an average day, driven by a 15% increase in transaction volume and a 42% increase in purchase price.
