Le Trimestriel – T2 2026

Les ventes des restaurants continuent de progresser, mais le rendement global reste inégal. Au premier trimestre de 2026, les ventes commerciales des services alimentaires ont connu une hausse de 6,0 %, ce qui est supérieur aux prévisions. Une fois adaptées à l’inflation des prix des menus, les ventes réelles ont augmenté de 2,7 %. La hausse de la demande pour les restaurants à service complet et les traiteurs a compensé la baisse persistante de la demande pour les restaurants à service rapide.

The Quarterly – Q4 2024

Looking back at the second half of 2024, foodservice sales were a bit hit-and-miss. Quick-service restaurants and caterers continued to post revenue gains in line with expectations. Full-service restaurants and drinking places saw a sharp loss in momentum, especially during the summer.

The summer months have historically been a boon for the restaurant industry as Canadians flock to their local restaurants and bars and warm weather fills patios. It’s also peak travel season for domestic and international travellers, who like to try the culinary diversity that Canada’s foodservice industry has to offer.
