This year\u2019s Foodservice Facts grounds that aspiration in rigorous research and actionable data, laying the groundwork for strategic investments that sustain culture, strengthen community and secure profitability as we step boldly into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next five to 10 years, shifts driven by technology, demographics, economics, labour, and consumer expectations will reshape the restaurant industry. How do we prepare for what\u2019s next? This year\u2019s Foodservice Facts is designed to provide that roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The economy: Canada\u2019s commercial foodservice sector is experiencing a surprising yet welcome rise in sales, driven by initiatives such as the GST\/HST holiday and a surge in domestic tourism. Looking forward, the industry is forecasted to maintain steady growth over the next five years, though operators will need to adapt to shifting consumer spending patterns and price pressures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daypart Trends: Younger Canadians are redefining how meals are consumed. The traditional \u201cthree square meals a day\u201d framework is giving way to snacking as a meal replacement, with convenience and price driving behaviour. Restaurants must adapt their offerings to meet this shift, recognizing its impact on traffic, menu design, and profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology \u2013 Amid a technological boom, restaurants face pressure to modernize at a rapid pace. Yet cost concerns temper adoption. Consumers consistently show that while tech-driven features are welcomed, they are most powerful when paired with strong digital presence and social media engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcohol \u2013 Health-focused media and consumer lifestyles are reshaping alcohol consumption. Many Canadians are moderating or substituting their choices, with implications for both beverage sales and menu innovation. Understanding these patterns will be crucial for operators seeking to align with changing expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Table of Contents:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Size and Scope of the Restaurant Industry<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Market Review and Forecast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foodservice Employment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Menu Prices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average Cheque Size<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Segment Trends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Daypart Trends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On-and Off-Premises Trends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technology Trends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provincial Trends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long-Term Forecast<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finance and Operations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Retail Food Sales<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alcohol Trends<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2025 Food and Beverage Trends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foodservice Facts is Canada\u2019s most trusted foodservice industry research and insights guide. <\/p>\n<p><strong>$250.00 for Non-Members<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6379,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"research-type":[74,72],"advocacy-issue":[],"class_list":["post-6383","research","type-research","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","research-type-foodservice-facts","research-type-reports"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
