"Competition for share of stomach is getting more and more challenging. But brands that have found a way to differentiate themselves are gaining market share." The highest growth of limited-service restaurants came from the Asian, bakery cafe and coffee cafe categories, including Panda Express, Panera Bread and Starbucks.

Full-service restaurants experienced a 2.4 percent sales increased in 2013, a slight decrease over the 2.9 percent seen in 2012, according to Technomic. The full-service steak category continued to show healthy growth, with an increase in sales of 6.2 percent. Here's the five fastest-growing chains with sales under $200 million: 1. BurgerFi - $45 million (178.1 percent of change) 2. Del Frisco's Grille - $44 million (83.9 percent of change) 3. Twin Peaks - $165 million (68.4 percent of change) 4. CherryBerry - $62 million (63.2 percent of change) 5. Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt - $144 million (48.6 percent of change)
