Restaurant chains in the U.S. account for a market capitalization of almost $500 billion (as of the end of 2023) divided among 48 companies. Every foodservice category has a clear market share leader with one exception - casual dining. While the leaders in QSR, Coffee, Fast-Casual, and Pizza each own more than 60% of the category’s market cap, for Casual Dining the leader accounts for 45% of the segment’s market cap. This is another fascinating proof point that casual dining is ripe for M&A and consolidation. But it’s a category with such a breath of brands, results, and potential that commercial due diligence is vital. #restaurants #QSR #strategy #duediligence

Can foot traffic predict revenue? It depends... Our clients find it to be a powerful indicator of overall business performance, particularly for businesses in industries where total sales are closely tied to in-person consumer visits. One such example is the casual restaurant industry. Consider the graphic below, which uses Unacast data to show revenue and foot traffic data for Dave & Buster’s restaurants between Q1 2019 and Q3 2023. At a glance, you can see how closely the chain’s overall foot traffic pattern mirrors its quarterly revenue results. In the link below, you can read more details about how the correlation analysis further demonstrates how closely foot traffic and revenues are related for Dave and Buster’s, alongside other casual dining restaurants, Cracker Barrel, Chuy’s, Denny’s, and Texas Roadhouse. https://lnkd.in/ey-4kEgA

Over the past year, Fast-Casual & Quick-Service Restaurant (QSR) chains have thrived, consistently outperforming the Full-Service Dining segment with positive year-over-year (YoY) visit growth every quarter since 2023. Some key takeaways from the report by Placer.ai: • Continued investment in fast service is driving shorter visits to QSRs like Taco Bell and Wendy’s. • Applebee’s is gaining lunch-rush diners by embracing quick-service formats. • Chicken chains such as Chick-Fil-A and Raising Cane's are becoming increasingly popular within the Fast-Casual & QSR spaces. • Celebrating the calendar helps bump up traffic to White Castle and Arby’s. Is it all about efficiency that's driving this growth? How big of a factor is price playing? 🤑 What have you personally experienced at a #QSR that made it better? #RestaurantMarketing #ConsumerTrends
