The fast-casual dining industry is grappling with declining customer traffic as inflation and rising costs force budget-conscious consumers, particularly those with lower incomes, to cut back on restaurant visits. Instead of broad discounts, chains are employing more targeted promotions and emphasizing dine-in experiences to justify higher prices. The pandemic initially hurt the segment as in-restaurant dining declined, though fast-casual chains adapted by boosting off-premises channels like takeout and delivery. However, as the cost of dining out has increased significantly, consumers are now treating it more as an entertainment splurge, favoring viral fine-dining spots over casual chains. Independent restaurants were hit harder during the pandemic compared to chains.

Why is fast casual on fire?  Inconvenience can lose you Guests- experience is undoubtedly how you win them. We know Fast Casual combines the best of two worlds: the speed and convenience of fast food with the quality and experience of casual dining and continues to show impressive growth in sales and traffic. And, there's no sign of it slowing down. Don’t be fooled when you read that consumers don’t want to dine in. They do, especially Gen Z! The issue is that the experience being served up isn’t that joyful!  April 2024 Among Gen Z’s  41% Going out less yet splurging when they do ( +9 vs Total US) 56% Craving more social connections with friends and family ( +9 vs Total US) Thanks for the shout-out in the article Alicia Kelso Nation's Restaurant News “The winners will be the fast casuals that are experience-oriented because many casual dining restaurants are giving up that dine-in occasion in favor of off-premise growth.” #growth #fastcasual #experience #bringmorejoy

When I read this article from Restaurant Business Online (https://lnkd.in/gjXehEET) two issues immediately came to mind. First, QSRs dug themselves into a enormous hole for years before the pandemic with dollar menus, extremely cheap promotions, and unsustainable pricing models. It set unreasonable patron expectations and provided the chains nothing by way of loyalty, competitive differentiation, or long-term strategic strength. Inevitably, when tough economic times hit coupled with federal and state legislation and shifting labor markets, prices had to go up and go up at a greater pace than full-service because that hole had become so deep. Second, the issue for QSRs now is not the price but the value. Price is too easy to talk about and too easy blame, just as it was too easy to fall back on...which we're seeing now with another round of cheap price promotions. From service and ambiance to food quality and consistency, many QSR operators are simply not providing value for patrons. That's why they are trading up to full service restaurants, often fine dining. Many QSRs would be well advised to stop focusing on cheap prices and to start building a better value proposition that will create a stronger and healthier long-term strategic position that is both ownable and defensible. #trends2024 #innovation #foodservice #foodandbeverageindustry #restaurants #consumerbehavior #consumerinsights #menumattersllc

While trends vary depending on a local area, the sales recoveries that restaurants have needed following the pandemic have been partially driven by deliveries and other tech-driven services. Sit-down experiences are still sought after but have become less common, speaking in broad strokes in examining restaurant trends that is. What this means is that individual experiences are more valuable than ever, as dine-in is the growth vertical driving success for the industry. #RestaurantGrowth #RestaurantLeadership #RestaurantSuccess

The wine industry is the latest of late adopters.📠📼💯 An industry that’s has a decades long internal war of attrition on Screw-Caps vs Corks. It’s for hard for them to understand why canned wine make sense. 🤔 Nate Calvert points out why fast casual is winning. Quality and convenience, is what today’s consumer wants. Having a wine wine opener and a drinking vessel isn’t convenient.🐌 Canned Craft Beer, Liquid Death, RTDs, are proof that the right liquid can win in cans.📈🚀 Necessity is the mother of innovation. Wine has been losing the past 10 years, and maybe now is the time to embrace innovation.
