CHICAGO — As foodservice operators turn the page on 2012, CHD Expert, a Chicago-based foodservice trends and database company, predicts the foodservice industry will grow steadily throughout 2013.
“Establishments with varied menus hold the most market share,” said Catherine Kearns, GM of CHD Expert. “Data shows that foodservice establishments that offer diverse menus attract more consumers as they appeal to wider populations and meet consumer preferences.”
Aside from varied menus, pizza and pasta as well as sandwiches and soup, rank second and third, respectively on CHD’s list of Canadian and American full-service and quick-service menus items that have the largest market share.
Meanwhile, CHD predicts ethnic food choices will continue to be on the rise in Canada. “As we move into the new year, existing and aspiring foodservice operators throughout Canada can consider adding new and varied dishes to their menus to meet diverse consumer preferences,” said Kearns.
