Executive summary
Sales growth driven by less expensive food choices
Consumer foodservice sales grew by 4% in current value terms in 2008, while the number of transactions rose by 3%. Factors driving growth included exceptional sales increases in fast food and 100% home delivery/takeaway as consumers traded down to less expensive food outlets. Despite the uncertain global economic climate, consumer foodservice sales picked up in late 2008 due to lower interest rates, falling fuel prices and the government’s economic stimulus package in Australia.
Increasing demand for convenient food
Tougher economic times called for cutbacks in discretionary spending on luxury goods, however, Australians’ strong culture of eating out continued to prevail. Consumers sought cheaper and more convenient alternatives which offered value for money. Less expensive food choices reported strong growth in the context of the economic downturn. Consumer demand for convenience fast food increased significantly. Convenient locations and the operating hours of many chained fast food operators also contributed to their strong growth.
Foodservice operators compete on non-core service
The Australian consumer foodservice industry saw strong growth over the review period and became more competitive. More foodservice operators are shifting innovation from food to non-core services, including offering free Wi-Fi internet connections in certain outlets. With free Wi-Fi access, allowing customers to access the internet from their own laptop, PDA and phone devices, visitors will potentially stay longer in the outlets. The increased complexity in service offering and establishments implies an increase in set-up costs for individual franchisees.
Franchise operations receive favourable treatment
As the economic climate became tougher and unemployment rates started rising, many middle managers sought alternative employment opportunities and invested in their own franchises. This contributed to the strong growth in chained operations. In the tougher economic times, independent foodservice operators tended to suffer financial difficulties, slowing down the growth rate. Additionally, higher labour costs and rentals further squeezed profit margins.
Strong competition placing downward pressure on prices
Given the economic downturn in the short to medium term and intense competition in consumer foodservice, increasingly demanding consumers are tending to create more pressure on price reduction. Deals and promotions from many foodservice operators in fast food, cafés/bars and 100% home delivery/takeaway have been frequently used, diminishing margins for foodservice operators.
