The combination of high cost of living, rising menu prices and weak consumer confidence has Canadians cutting back on discretionary spending.\u00a0 As a result, Restaurant Canada\u2019s Consumer Dining Index (CDI) fell to 90.6 in September compared to 100.3 in September 2023. This is due to Canadian households pulling back on the number of visits to restaurants for supper and breakfast when compared to September 2023. The share of Canadians that purchased breakfast once a week or more <\/em>fell to 11% in September compared to 16% in September 2023. Meanwhile, the share of Canadians who purchased supper from a restaurant once a week or more <\/em>declined to 30% compared to 33% in September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead consumer sentiment will be relatively unchanged for October compared to September. Overall, there was a three-point reduction in the share of Canadians that intend to dine out less often at either a quick- or table-service restaurant in October compared to September. Instead, they plan to dine out about the same in October as they did in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
