Executive summary

Number of outlets more than doubles over the review period

The number of consumer foodservice outlets more than doubled in 2001-2006. The strongest growth in the number of outlets was seen in 100% home deliver/takeaway, full-service restaurants and pizza consumer foodservice. The increase in outlets also led to an overall increase in the number of transactions, which more than doubled over the same period. The boom in the number of outlets constructed in 2001-2006 was indicative of Colombia’s strong overall economic performance over the review period. While growth slowed somewhat in 2006, the overall constant value growth of consumer foodservice over the review period was very positive.

Chains increase gourmet coffee product offerings

Local and international companies are expected to increase gourmet coffee sales in 2007, as local consumers enjoy tasting new ways of preparing their top national product. Chains such as Juan Valdez and OMA started to increase coffee options at the end of the review period, expanding beyond the traditional black coffee and cappuccino to ice latte and ice cream, coffee mouse, macchiato with Chantilly, just to name a few. Other chains like McDonald’s and Archie’s, which were not previously known for their coffee selection, also joined the trend by offering a wide and interesting portfolio of coffee-based products along with relaxing, welcoming spaces that allow customers to enjoy their entire coffee experience. Local chains are also working together with local coffee producers to give Colombians top quality coffee, which was previously only selected for exports.

Colombian chains expand

Colombia boasts top international consumer foodservice chains such as McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and Pizza Hut, but its home-grown chains are the leaders in terms of value sales. Inversiones El Corral Ltda’s El Corral fast-food hamburger chain, Crepes & Waffles SA’s Crepes & Waffles restaurant and Frisby SA’s Frisby chicken outlets were the top three chained consumer foodservice restaurants in terms of value sales in Colombia in 2006. Each of these chains has over 100 outlets throughout Colombia and their menus that are tailored to Colombians’ taste, giving them an edge on multinational foodservice chains operating in Colombia.

Independent locations vastly outnumber chains

Independent foodservice outlets led overall consumer food service in number of outlets in 2006. Whilst several popular chains can be found throughout the major metropolitan areas of Colombia, their numbers are still dwarfed by their independent counterparts. Consumers often prefer lunch in independent restaurants as many offer much lower prices and traditional Colombian plates which large numbers of low-income Colombians desire over standardised fast food products. In most cases, chains cannot compete with prices at independent restaurants as many cut costs by not following sanitary norms required by the regulatory institutions of restaurants.

Growth still strong despite losing some steam over forecast period

While the rapid growth that consumer foodservice experienced in 2001-2006 is not predicted be matched in 2006-2011, the growth in constant value terms should still be strong. With Colombia’s economic and political situation stabilising, consumes are expected to benefit with continued increases in disposable income. Eating out at a restaurant may no longer be reserved for special occasions for an increasing number of Colombians, as the nation’s wealth expands. In addition, convenience is anticipated to become even more important and outlets that offer home delivery and take-out options will likely continue to gain favour.
