Take-Out, Take-Away, To-Go Food Driving Foodservice Success

Eating-In while Eating-Out was identified by Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant Guru® Steven Johnson as a consumer food trend back in 2013. Today meal kit companies, prepared meal companies, and restaurants are all competing to be the restaurant meal on the dining room table according to Johnson.
David Portalatin, vice president of the NPD Group and a food industry analyst stated “consumers are less concerned with where they eat than with getting what they want when they want it” at the 54th annual IFMA Presidents Conference this week in Scottsdale, AZ this week  as attendees were encouraged to "take the restaurant into the consumer's home." 
That’s right consumers like Eating-In while Eating-Out once again we were first with the insights, we were right.  Today we continue to lead research findings within the grocerant niche.  The team at Foodservice Solutions® continues to excel within the grocerant niche.
Portalatin continued at IMFA stating “the number of meals per capita that are eaten on premise at a restaurant are at an all-time low for the fourth consecutive year. He said restaurant meals are eaten at home 40% of the time.”
Business model disruption is under way within every sector of food retail today according to our Grocerant Guru®.  With pop up home cooks serving and delivering home cooked meals, personal chefs, c-stores evolving into fast casual restaurants,  and grocery store special event catering companies with thier own App for fast pricing and ordering. 
Legacy CPG retailers are losing ground to grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food as competition expands. Legacy chain restaurants are losing ground to new non-traditional fresh food retailers.  Do you know how to edify your brand while driving top line sales and bottom line profits?
