Brunch is often a meal for the weekend where over indulgence wins over self control. Bottomless mimosas and unhealthy food can quickly add up the calories. Google Trends shows that brunch has been becoming more popular in the last decade. People have said that they want both more indulgent and healthier options. This is a seemingly impossible dichotomy. Different restaurants have taken different approaches to filling this want of consumers. Adding bits of bacon to otherwise healthy meals is one approach.
- Brunch allows people to enjoy their meals after a hard week of eating well
- Fatty foods can be enjoyed but need to be balanced with healthy foods
- Eggs can be a very healthy and important part of a diet
“With its bottomless mimosas, eggs Benedict capped in rich sauce, and caramelized French toast drowned in maple syrup, brunch is the antidote to the week’s dietary and workout regimens—and often a literal antidote to the previous night’s indulgences. It’s also a leisurely chance to catch up with friends and family.”

The limited time customers are spending in restaurants is becoming a common trend. According to the article, “How Restaurants are Becoming ‘The Third Space'”, restaurant owners must strive to make a lasting impression on customers. With the limited amount of time the average customer spends in the restaurant, it is essential that they leave with a positive impression. The environment of the restaurant should be welcoming. The author suggests kitchen transparency, comfortable seating, and accessibility as key components of the architecture.
- A space must be welcoming, with implementation of fresh inviting materials and construction.
- Ordering should be personalized, with a large move towards kiosk systems that allow an order to be tailor-made to an individual.
- Drive-thru and table service are also becoming more wide spread, and have been changing dramatically as technology advances.
“Rather than broadcasting polarizing political news, strategic quick-service restaurants are increasingly turning to using customized TV programming with small, snackable segments, or “nuggets” of content that are thought-provoking and reinforce brand values.”
