Recent changes, how they affect your restaurant, and outline 4 specific things you should do now to overcome these challenges and ensure profitability. Ready? Let’s dive into the new restaurant industry trends.
What are the Restaurant Industry Updates All About?
In case you haven’t heard, there have been significant changes in the restaurant industry recently that will or may have impacted your business. These changes also mean that your customers’ behaviors and spending patterns might be different. This shift affects restaurant owners in several ways:
- Shift to Online Ordering: Many diners are transitioning to online ordering and food delivery services, reducing the foot traffic in physical restaurants.
- Customer Retention Challenges: Restaurants that fail to adapt to these changes may find themselves losing customers and revenue to more digitally savvy competitors.
- Enhancing Online Presence: To improve visibility in algorithms and attract customers, you’ll need to adapt your online interactions and marketing strategies.
- Adapting to New Consumer Preferences: Customers’ preferences for healthier and sustainable dining options may require adjustments to your menu and sourcing practices.
All of this sounds both exciting and challenging right now. Take another moment to breathe and process these changes.
4 Things You Should Do Now
As proactive restaurant owners, we always find ways to adapt and thrive in changing times. Here are four ways you can ensure your restaurant comes out stronger due to these updates:
#1. Ensure You Invest Your Time and Money Where It Matters
Let me share a personal anecdote with you. Back during a previous industry shakeup, I made the mistake of assuming that business would be back to “normal” and operated (i.e. managed cash flow) as such. Instead, I advise taking the time to carefully assess what trends will have a lasting impact. Your existing clients and employees and even vendors will appreciate your expertise and trust in your decision-making.
#2. Get Structure into Your Life during Times of Uncertainty
You might think that establishing structure is counterintuitive during uncertain times, but it’s actually crucial. When rapid changes occur, panic tends to set in. By having a strong support network or a system in place, you’ll be better equipped to make rational decisions as the industry continues to evolve. Insert Profit First for Restaurants right here. It will change your life.
#3. Avoid Digging Your Heels In
It’s natural to feel frustrated when faced with significant changes in the restaurant industry. After all, we’ve only recently adjusted to previous challenges, like the pandemic’s impact on the food and drinks sector. However, you can’t afford to stop evolving with the times. Let me tell you about a client, we’ll call him Edward, who resisted adopting computers (POS) when they first hit the market. Eventually, he embraced technology and flourished. By helping him develop some computer skills and adapt to the changing landscape, he achieved newfound success.
