Executive summary

Positive but slower development, with more tentative consumer spending

Consumer foodservice in the Czech Republic is more saturated in terms of outlets than in terms of value sales. During the review period, the number of units continued to fall slightly. By contrast, value sales recorded positive growth, supported by foreign and domestic visitors. Consumer foodservice outlets keep consumers by offering special lunch menus for advantageous prices, and by acceptance of meal vouchers. Family trips to shopping centres are becoming more popular, and this is also helping value sales. Compared to 2005, value growth in 2006 was slightly lower, due to Czechs’ more tentative spending on consumer foodservice. Although disposable incomes are increasing, this is balanced by the rising costs of housing, electricity, transport and healthcare.

Specialist coffee shops and fast food benefit from developing coffee culture and demand for healthier food

Specialist coffee shops remained the smallest but the fastest growing cafés/bars subsector in 2006, benefiting from the developing coffee culture in the Czech Republic. The largest specialist coffee shops chains included Segafredo Espresso Café, Café Emporio and Coffee Heaven. In 2006, specialist coffee shops continued to concentrate on introducing more light dishes and lunch menus. This was welcomed by consumers, resulting in more visits to the outlets. Fast food outlets continued to enrich their meals with healthy ingredients (more vegetables, fruit and bakery products), thus meeting consumer demand for light food. Czech consumers enjoy fast food, but do not like to eat in a hurry. This provides an opportunity for the fast casual dining concept.

Stronger competition, with expansion of local and international chains

Competition is accelerating throughout the consumer foodservice market in the Czech Republic, both between and within sectors. The strongest competition is visible within fast food, with the leading international players McDonald’s and KFC. Competition among specialist coffee shops is still weak, but may be intensified by the entrance of new players (eg Starbucks) over the forecast period. Full service restaurants (FSR) compete with special lunch menus and by offering extra services, eg children’s play areas and healthy children’s menus (in line with the recent baby boom in the Czech Republic).

Chains fewer in number but perform better than independents

The majority of consumer foodservice operators remained independent in 2006. Chained operators were active primarily in fast food (McDonald’s, KFC, Paneria, Panda, Mondo Pizza), as well as in FSR (Hacienda Mexicana, Pizza Coloseum) and cafés/bars (Illy Café Bar, Bio Cafés, Coffee&Co). Chains develop gradually and are fuelled by the fact that domestic companies lack investment capital and are starting to build chains on a franchising basis (eg Potrefena Husa) or by franchising cooperation with a well-established international chain.

Good forecast expectations, particularly for fast food and cafés/bars

Consumer foodservice in the Czech Republic is expected to witness gradual constant value growth over the forecast period. Fast food and cafés/bars will be the most dynamic sectors. Fast food will continue to undergo changes, reflecting increased health consciousness among consumers. Self-service cafeterias and street stalls/kiosks are likely to face falling outlet numbers and value sales, due to increasing competition from fast food. The potential threat to value sales has led the Ministry of Finance in the country to propose a change to the system of meal vouchers (repealing the tax break on meal vouchers might make employers unwilling to continue this benefit for employees). However, this proposal is not expected to be approved.
