however, did not increase as a result)

school closings)

2014 is expected to decrease by a full percentage point

doesn’t have
the benefit of
a “catch up”
(purchases not deferred
to a later time)
Fast Casual Quadrupled in a Decade
• Food offerings competitive
• Environments are pleasing and many facilities are new
• No tipping at FC leads to increased overall value to customers

Technology vs. Adoption
• Technology is coming,
question is around adoption
• Which chains will convert
first?
• Will independents be able to
implement or afford?
Technology will certainly make operators’ jobs easier…
but it must also enhance the customer experience to drive value

Editor's Notes

  • #4 https://blogs.technomic.com/a-look-back-on-the-year-in-fast-casual/
  • #8 Investing in the Future Operators who planned to make improvements this year were almost evenly split between investing in a redesign and putting money behind marketing efforts. A slightly smaller group said they planned to invest in technology upgrades. About one-fifth of respondents said they can’t divert any funds for improvements now.
  • #9 Idea: start with what Operators are implementing
  • #12 Problem: Will consumers adopt and use?
  • #13 Arrows indicate increase for that statistic over previous year. Dash means equal to previous year.
