What Do Consumers Want?
Short answer: Everything. But a closer look at recent shifts in consumer attitudes, behaviors and restaurant usage reveals some surprises. Consumers were forced to drastically change their habits during this challenging time, and the new diner mindset is still evolving. Although convenience, variety, great service and terrific food will always be priorities, there are other areas of guest experience and brand image that must be addressed to meet current and future consumer demands.
