The price, value, service equilibrium
is alive and well. Millennials in a
constant quest for discovery apparently have found a comfort feeding zone. That zone is Quick Service Restaurants.
Discovery is expensive and when it comes to food Millennials want consistency,
time savings, and cash savings.
Restaurateurs have been doing
all they can to win over the largest of the six generational groups for some
time. Millennials currently 74 million
strong continue to grow important and influential within the restaurant sector
than any other age bracket over the next 10 years.
Bonnie Riggs, The NPD Group’s restaurant industry analyst said “What
Millennials may lack in buying power they make up for in influence,” says. They
have expectations when they dine out and are quick to spread the word when
their expectations are or aren’t met.” Millennials are evolving with social
media and are seemingly first to post photos of food and share experiences with
multiple social media outlets.
According to Riggs and a new NPD
report, “Millennials made more than 14 billion visits to food establishments,
which roughly translates to $95 billion spent on meals and snacks. Traditional
QSR establishments are the most popular among Millennials, which goes against
the wide belief that fast-casual restaurants dominate the segment.”
The price, value,
service, equilibrium includes discovery and non-traditional fresh food
outlets including C-stores continue to attract Millennials according to Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant
Guru™. In fact Lunch time is the number
one day-part for Millennial visits to C-stores.
