Food-Related FranchisesFood franchises or food-related franchise businesses make up an industry projected to have $580 billion in sales in 2010, which is approximately a 2.5 percent increase over 2009 sales.
Restaurants will have a huge impact on the recovery of the U.S. economy as industry sales represent 4 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product and restaurant employees comprise 9 percent of the U.S. workforce. Food franchises and restaurants as a whole are an important part of communities across America and a key player in providing jobs to the American workforce.
Given the current economy, the quickservice restaurant segment may fare better in 2010 than the full service category as diners continue to struggle with disposable income. The quickservice restaurant is typically associated with Pizza franchises, Sandwich and Deli franchise businesses, Smoothie franchises, ice cream, coffee shops and bakery shops.
Quickservice restaurants are projected to post sales of $164.8 billion in 2010, a gain of 3.0 percent over 2009. Sales at fullservice restaurants are projected to reach $184.2 billion in 2010, an increase of 1.2 percent in current dollars over 2009.
The eating-and-drinking place segment expected to show the strongest growth in 2010 is social caterers, whose sales are expected to increase by 4.5 percent. Among all commercial industry segments, the strongest growth is expected in retail-host restaurants (including those located in gas/service stations and drug- and grocery stores) with a 4.9 percent sales increase.
State Sales Growth
Colorado is expected to post the strongest sales growth in 2010 at 2.9 percent (2010 industry sales of $8.7 billion), followed by Idaho at 2.8 percent ($1.6 billion). Forecasted to post growth of 2.7 percent: New Jersey ($12.8 billion), New York ($29.0 billion), North Carolina ($12.8 billion) and Texas ($34.8 billion).
The top states by restaurant sales volume in 2010 will be California at $58.0 billion (2.3 percent growth); Texas at $34.8 billion (2.7 percent growth); New York at $29.0 billion (2.7 percent growth); Florida at $27.6 billion (2.4 percent growth); and Illinois at $18.7 billion (1.9 percent growth).
Consumer and Menu Trends
According to the National Restaurant Association’s 2010 Restaurant Industry Forecast, consumers will continue to seek value, convenience and expanded menu options in 2010 – and restaurants will deliver. Consumers forced to cut back on spending say they aren’t dining out as often as they would like, and this pent-up demand will turn into restaurant traffic as economic recovery continues.
The Association predicts that growth opportunities can be found in delivery and other off-premise options, cooking classes and other interactive guest activities, and using new media to reach new and returning guests.
Social media will become more critical to restaurant marketing this year. A good plan and solid understanding of those tools – including Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, and YouTube – can help operators mitigate the economic environment. “Word of mouth” has moved online, and more consumers use the Web to browse menus, make reservations, and get recommendations from other diners. Restaurants’ use of e-mail, Internet and cell phone text messages in marketing efforts is also a growing trend.
Restaurant operators continue to step up their efforts to go green, investing in energy-efficient equipment and fixtures, using recyclable materials and reducing their water use. Green initiatives not only help manage costs, they can also drive traffic. Four of 10 fullservice and 31 percent of quickservice operators plan to devote more resources to green initiatives in 2010 than they did in 2009, and 4 in 10 consumers say they choose restaurants based on their conservation practices.
Locally sourced food, sustainability, and health and nutrition will be the top trends on restaurant menus this year. Seventy percent of consumers say they are more likely to visit restaurants that offer locally produced food, and nearly three out of four say they are trying to eat healthier in restaurants now than they did two years ago.
The top 10 menu trends in the Association’s “What’s Hot in 2010” survey of more than 1,800 professional chefs (American Culinary Federation members) are: locally grown produce, locally sourced meat/seafood, sustainability as a culinary theme, bite-size desserts, locally produced beer/wine, healthy kids’ meals, half-potions, farm/estate-branded ingredients, gluten-free/allergy-conscious items, and sustainable seafood.
Ethnic cuisines and flavors are also a hot menu trend this year, including regional ethnic cuisine and fusion cuisine. Consumers are interested in trying French, Spanish, Japanese (other than sushi), Thai, Cajun/Creole, soul food and sushi.
