Executive summary

Lifestyle, tourism and a strong economy drive strong growth

Consumer foodservice sales grew by 3% in current value terms and the number of transactions by 2% in 2007.

Factors driving growth are numerous, multi-dimensional and frequently complex and attributed largely to a continuation of a trend towards informal out-of-home dining. Increasingly, Australians are using foodservice outlets as meeting places. This includes both social and business meetings and range from cafés/bars to full-service restaurants.

Flavour experimentation still dominates ahead of healthy eating

Chained outlets have focused on menu improvements over the review period, with a high degree of emphasis on healthy eating developments. However, there are also other dimensions to menu development, and many operations are finding a need to improve on the diversity and flavour of offerings. In fast food it is particularly noticeable that venues offering limited and confined menus are increasingly forced to broaden their horizons. Similarly, with the trend towards healthier menu options in its prime, there is an emphasis on improving the flavour and appeal of options.

Chained operations continue to lead expansion

In 2007, chained outlets increased their share of consumer foodservice value sales from 30% to 31%. This growth has been driven by a number of factors, but weight of outlet numbers is a key aspect. Over the same year chained operations increased their share of total number of outlets from 19% to 20%. In chained cafés/bars, chained specialist coffee shops experienced the strongest growth in outlet numbers of 15% in 2007.

Chains increase dominance of prime locations

Food courts in regional shopping centres are increasingly prominent within consumer foodservice. Chained operations are progressively more represented within such locations. It is becoming the norm to have four or more specialist coffee shops within these venues alongside a wide range of fast food outlets. The continuing shopping migration towards major regional venues creates both the opportunity for increased numbers of fast food outlets and the environment for chained operations. New business ventures in Australia are increasingly focused on franchises as new entrants look to adopt existing formats and centre management increasingly favour recognised retailers.

Strong growth to continue albeit tempered by consumer price expectations

Strong growth in outlet numbers has led to heightened competition and an evolving trend towards deals and promotions by fast food operators and other consumer foodservice operators. This trend has the potential to create problems in the forecast period. With a growing focus on prime sites and greater price competition and promotional activities, operators in consumer foodservice face the prospect of premium rents and diminishing margins.
