The aim of this article is to identify the most convenient clustering methodology to be applied in the restaurants’ sector in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (ZMG). An analysis of different clustering techniques was carried out, and as a result, the Kulldorff technique was selected to determine where the existing restaurant clusters are. The results show ten restaurant clusters in the ZMG, seven of them with a high concentration of economic units. The present study is innovative concerning the detection of clusters in the restaurant industry in the ZMG.
