Executive summary
Favourable economic conditions continue to boost growth
The Canadian economy has performed well in 2007, creating favourable conditions for the foodservice industry. Disposable income has been rising and a large portion of this is spent on eating outside the home. Family outings are increasingly turning into occasions for eating out. After a slow period between 2001 and 2005, the industry has seen good growth since 2006.
Convenience dictates trends in the foodservice channel
One of the most important trends to affect the foodservice industry is people’s growing preference for all that is convenient and enables them to save time. This has affected the foodservice industry in various ways, including menu development, the growth of drive-throughs and the rising popularity of the 100% home delivery/takeaway category. Restaurants are increasingly introducing food items to their menus that are easy to serve and also take less time to prepare. The drive-through segment is thriving and several outlet operators are considering moving into this area. Starbucks (Starbucks Coffee Canada Inc) is now focusing on developing this segment rather than its other outlet types. Convenience has also led to growth in the 100% home delivery/takeaway category and several chains have started to offer home delivery as well as takeaway services in addition to their traditional eat-in facilities. Flexibility is thus the key word; restaurants that are able to offer eat-in as well as home delivery and takeaway are likely to see success over the forecast period.
Tim Hortons further consolidates its position, strengthens its brand
Tim Hortons (Tim Horton’s Inc) continues to be Canada’s number one consumer foodservice chain. The company built its share steadily over 2007 through its strategy of well managed expansion and franchising. Tim Hortons is among the country’s strongest and most well-known brands. Moreover, a large segment of the population identifies with and feels proud of the brand. Although the majority of its sales are generated by coffee, the company has continued to focus on its menu and today offers consumers a variety of breakfast and lunch options including doughnuts, muffins, sandwiches, wraps and salads.
Stand-alone outlets continue to dominate, but retail locations see strongest growth
Stand-alone outlets dominate the Canadian foodservice industry, accounting for 67% of all sales. Traditionally these have been the most popular in Canada but the retail segment is exhibiting the strongest growth. Outlets present in shopping malls and retail environments are flourishing; a number of retail-based operations have been able to expand into the other locations such as stand-alone, riding on their retail successes. Several chains are now expanding into the retail segment to be a part of this growing business. Most of the big chains are now represented in the food courts of retail malls.
Industry expected to perform better over the forecast period
As the economy remains stable, the foodservice industry is expected to perform well over the forecast period, showing healthy growth. The growing convenience trend and better menu offerings will lead to an increase in value sales. The continued expansion of restaurant chains will also be likely to lead to a better performance over the forecast period.
