Executive summary

Full-service Restaurants Drives Overall Growth

The Dutch foodservice industry recorded considerable sales value growth in 2007, driven to a large extent by full-service restaurants. In actual terms this range was by far the largest growth area, as new independent full-service restaurants in particular performed very well. The increased interest in good quality, value for money dining at independent full-service restaurants helped to improve performance of this particular segment of the Dutch foodservice sector. However, full-service restaurants was not the only range to show growth as cafés/bars and fast food also performed well.

Rise of Specialist Coffee Shops Is a Major Trend in Foodservice

There was a major boom in US-style specialist coffee shops over the last three years of the review period. The Netherlands is a relatively small country with a very specific coffee culture making it difficult for operators to be successful with this concept until recently. The Dutch coffee culture seems to be changing, however, and it is becoming more fashionable to opt for sophisticated international coffee drinks rather than straight forward Dutch coffee. It is also becoming more acceptable to buy a coffee on the go as witnessed by the rise in US-style specialist coffee shops, and espresso bars in every major Dutch city. This market is comprised of both successful chained coffee shops, such as The Coffee Co, as well as independent espresso bars. This new trend has had an impact on coffee shops as well as on all other types of foodservice outlets that serve coffee. The Dutch consumer is becoming more demanding and expects good quality coffee.

Most Major Players Active in Only One Aspect of the Industry

There are certain sectors that are better suited to chained foodservice companies than others. For special occasions, most Dutch consumers will prefer an independent player. This has its implications for the competitive environment and the largest companies are usually chained. This means that the largest companies are active in areas such as fast food, self-service catering or home delivery. International players such as McDonald's and Burger King have a major role to play, although self-service players such as Maxeda and IKEA also have a substantial share of the sector.

Franchise Model Important in Boosting the Popularity of Chains

While independent outlets remain a major force, and probably will be for some time, more and more foodservice players are becoming part of a chain. As a result, chained food outlets are more dominant in the Netherlands than ever before and to some people, this is a major concern. Many argue that in Dutch retail, chains have made every Dutch high street in every town very uniform, with the same retail brands everywhere you go. The franchise model is a financial necessity, however, as many family-owned foodservice business are struggling to make a living. Many older family business-owners find it difficult to find suitable staff to take over their business. Many entrepreneurs therefore prefer the security that a well-known foodservice brand and efficient franchise organisation offers them.

Strong Underlying Trends Boost Growth of Foodservice

The outlook for foodservice as a whole remains very positive. Despite the fact that the economy may come under pressure once again, the main trends such as increased out-of-home consumption are unlikely to be affected by economic pressures. More and more Dutch consumers are looking for convenience and consumption possibilities outside the home and because of these strong underlying long-term trends, it is unlikely that the foodservice industry will decline.
