Will dining out lose ground in our digital age? I don’t think so, even though take-away and delivery services in particular are gaining ground. Delivery services provide a certain demographic with a fast and efficient food service, but I believe that restaurants also provide an experience for traditionalists and enthusiasts, who will continue to support the industry long into the future.
We shouldn’t underestimate the overall dining experience afforded by a brick and mortar restaurant. We can see convenience and guests who are strapped for time being a major trend in the market today.

Restaurants should therefore position themselves more as a household brand offering a premium family dinner experience.
