Same-store sales were flat in June, according to the latest monthly MillerPulse survey, as both quick-service and casual-dining concepts struggled to bring customers in the door.

Same-store sales were flat for quick-service concepts and down 0.1 percent for casual-dining chains.

Yet traffic fell 1.9 percent for the month, the worst performance for the industry since the weather-hampered month of January 2014.

The results continue a surprising turn for the worse the industry has taken in 2016. Same-store sales growth has been below 1 percent every month this year but February, which had an extra day.

Quick-service traffic fell 1.3 percent in June, the third straight month of declines after a winter in which chains like McDonald’s Corp., The Wendy’s Co. and Burger King competed aggressively on price to get more customers.

Casual-dining traffic fell 2.5 percent. That was the worst traffic number for casual dining since February 2014.
