Food services and drinking places receipts, monthly, by province/territory
Monthly receipts of food services and drinking places from Statistics Canada's monthly food services and drinking places survey (table 21-10-0019-01): seasonally adjusted receipts in thousands of Canadian dollars (kept verbatim) for Canada, the 10 provinces and the 3 territories, plus the month-over-month and year-over-year percentage changes for each geography. Coverage 1998-01 to the present (Nunavut from 1999-04; the other provinces and territories from 1998-01). Caveats: receipts are seasonally adjusted; the survey's unadjusted receipts are not included; the published Locations (establishment count) series is discontinued upstream (ends 2010-07) and is not included; subsector detail is published for Canada only (see the companion by-subsector dataset); the latest months are occasionally revised; genuine upstream gaps stay missing, never filled.

| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| month | string | Reference month of the receipts estimate, as an ISO date (first of the month). |
| country_code | string | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for Canada (CAN) — the join key for the 'Enrich with public data' feature. |
| geo_name | string | Geography, as published by Statistics Canada (Canada, the 10 provinces and the 3 territories; provider-verbatim names). |
| receipts_thousands_cad | float | Seasonally adjusted receipts of food services and drinking places in the reference month, in thousands of Canadian dollars (kept verbatim). Negative values fail loudly. Genuine upstream gaps stay missing, never filled. (unit: thousands of Canadian dollars) |
| receipts_mom_pct | float | Month-over-month percentage change of the receipts column against the previous month (percent). Null when the base month is missing or zero. (unit: percent) |
| receipts_yoy_pct | float | Year-over-year percentage change of the receipts column against the same month a year earlier (percent). Null when the base month is missing or zero. (unit: percent) |
