How to grow traffic in 2017

Having problems gaining traffic in your restaurant? Although you may have the best food in town or the best deals in town no matter what you do your still struggling to get a crowd here are some tips to help you out. Be more innovative the world has changes and people like new. Offer delivery not everyone wants to go out to eat every night but they also don`t want to cook so what do they do? Delivery!

Key Takeaways:

  • Last year, restaurants faced significant challenges in attracting consumer visits, and 2017 isn’t looking much different, according to The NPD Group, which forecasts little to no traffic growth this year.
  • The world is changing — fast — and consumers expect restaurants to keep up, to provide innovation and to be relevant not only on the menu, but in the overall restaurant experience. Operators that fail to innovate risk being overlooked by a significant portion of consumers, according to NPD’s 2017 Outlook.
  • As the marketplace continues to be highly competitive, NPD expects more operators to offer not only the foods customers crave, but also the option for customization. While fast-causal and casual-dining chains have already begun to develop customization, it’s starting to show up at traditional quick-serve chains as well, NPD found.
