Economic pressures, changing demographics, consumer behaviours, and the aftershocks of global disruptions continue to create headwinds that operators must navigate carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Foodservice Facts webinar helps foodservice professionals navigate through the uncertainty and challenges. The presentation will be broken into two sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first section focuses on the current state of the foodservice industry, reviewing the key economic performance indicators for 2024: restaurant sales; guest count trends by daypart and on-off-premises; how consumers are adapting their spending at restaurants in light of the rising cost of living and higher menu prices; and restaurant profitability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second section looks ahead at four ways restaurants can chart a path to prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The economy<\/strong> &#8211; Canada\u2019s commercial foodservice sector is set for steady, though tempered, growth over the next five years. While the economy is expected to improve, which segments will see the strongest growth going forward over the next five years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Demographics<\/strong> &#8211; By 2041, nearly half of Canadians will belong to visible minority groups, many of whom dine out more frequently than others. How will this impact the restaurant industry and what do restaurants need to consider in order to adapt to these changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Loyalty<\/strong> -Loyalty programs are increasingly vital for restaurants. What are guests looking for in a loyalty program and how can restaurants use loyalty programs to grow their traffic and topline sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technology <\/strong>&#8211; Incorporating technology can improve both efficiency and productivity, providing a competitive advantage over other restaurants. While guests are interested in more technology at restaurants, the types of technology guests want varies significantly by segment and by age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speaker:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\" style=\"grid-template-columns:28% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-962x1024.jpg);background-position:45% 33%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"962\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-962x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3951 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-962x1024.jpg 962w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-282x300.jpg 282w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-768x818.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-1443x1536.jpg 1443w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-1924x2048.jpg 1924w, https:\/\/www.restaurantscanada.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/rc-headshots-80-of-256-1-600x639.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 962px) 100vw, 962px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chris Elliott<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Chief Economist &amp; Vice-President, Research<\/em><br>Restaurants Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">As the&nbsp;<strong>Chief Economist and Vice President of Research for Restaurants Canada, Chris Elliott<\/strong>&nbsp;manages and produces a comprehensive research program that has made Restaurants Canada a leading source of information for and about Canada\u2019s $114-billion foodservice industry.
