This year Taco Bell ran a promotion celebrating the World Series offering free tacos based on stolen bases. Research on this promotion showed that while there was increased traffic to Taco Bell, the effect was 17% less than the previous year. Some markets, such as Houston, saw a greater increase in traffic, but even there it was less than the previous year. No exact answer has been provided as to why this is the case, but it is speculated that McDonalds may have taken some of the market share.

Restaurants are facing a dilemma as more and more people seek food by delivery. Researches have been looking into this and are figuring out how fast-serve restaurants can compete with delivery restaurants like Dominoes. One suggestions is that fast-serve restaurants need to work on their packaging. Also, restaurants need to stop focusing on their in store locations and instead put resources into experiences for the consumer that will be remembered and bring costumers back for a long time.
- The way that people eat is changing. They are no longer cooking at home and home food delivery is becoming more common.
- Food delivery services are separating the food from the from the restaurant experience.
- Restaurants must find new ways to sell their brand and the experience of eating their food if they want to survive.
