market research for the
restaurant & food service
industry
rise to the
occasion
Whether you are an owner-operator of a restaurant or heading up a cafeteria for a college/university or hospital, you can agree that the food service industry is like no other because it offers a truly multi-faceted experience. Customer satisfaction is anything but straightforward. It’s based on everything from the food to the ambiance to the service, each one of which can be difficult to standardize across locations.
Furthermore, the industry is also faced with the usual challenges inherent in trying to reach customers from different generations and backgrounds. This industry must continually address this long list of influencing factors to attract new customers and keep current ones coming back.
