The numbers are available because prepared food establishments must pay a 2 percent advertising and promotion tax on sales of prepared food and nonalcoholic beverages.

Ionette Neal, senior director of tax revenue, said the 2013 total reported restaurant sales of $476,222,643 could tick higher as some late tax payments are received. But, she said, it's unlikely to be a significant difference from the latest numbers, which reflect collections through Feb. 10, 2014.

The total was nearly a 2.5 percent increase from 2012, when $464,613,386 in restaurant sales were reported.

In 2011, the total was $440,884,526, and in 2010 it was $423,389,949.
