As the average consumer has become busier than ever, dining out and ordering in have quickly become a new norm. We dug into to this change in routines, examining growing segments of fast-casual restaurants and on-demand food delivery services.
In our latest research report, we examine why consumers choose fast-casual over delivery and vice versa, what a typical customer looks like for each segment, and what diners expect from each type of experience.
One unique finding is that these two seemingly competing dining options in fact have opportunity to peacefully co-exist – or even work together. At the end of the day, hungry consumers just want options, both for the choice of food and for how it gets to them. In some instances, consumers use a delivery service to bring them food from a quick-service restaurant. Joining together means that fast-casual and on-demand delivery have opportunities to partner and grow.
