I found this very informative as I have two children working as professionals in the food service industry (cook and pastry chef). One thing I noticed was there was no data provided for Nova Scotia in the chart entitled "Regional Distribution (receipts per capita, 2015 $)" and that is where we live, so this would have added additional insight for me. |

Two important elements that I didn't feel were explored were the new Canadian requirements for caloric content to be displayed on menu items. What effect will this have on the consumer, their choices, or how often they eat out (especially breakfast). The second is a move to mobile pre-ordering to avoid lines. The "instant" nature of today's society mean that people don't want to wait for their food. McD's has their self service ordering (hence the replacement of cashiers with "automation") but they are not efficient. Starbucks; however, has an app that you can pre-order your drinks or food items from the app, select a pick up store and have it ready for you when you show up. So, you can order your morning breakfast as you step off the train and grab it hot and fresh as you pass the starbucks on your way to the office for example. This is a trend that I think will play a huge role in the future of the "fast food" segment. |
