Amid inflationary headwinds and fluctuating consumer demand, restaurant operators are facing difficult times. What are consumers looking for when they eat out, and what operators are successfully navigating the current climate?

  • Differences in foot traffic between industry segments
  • Competitive threats from beyond traditional foodservice
  • How the “price wars” are impacting quick-service restaurants
  • Which operators are best navigating the current climate
