Full-Service Restaurants in Canada

PROSPECTS

Restaurant weeks are used to attract more customers

Restaurant weeks in different cities across Canada not only promote tourism, but also appeal to local foodies. There are an increasing number of restaurants in Canada leveraging these events to raise awareness of restaurant brands and to increase their revenue.

Plant-based dishes show promising prospects

Sustainability, health and ethical living were popular trends in restaurants in recent years. Driven by these lifestyle and environmental factors, plant-based eating has become an increasingly important food trend.

The dining experience matters

Aside from the food itself, the overall dining experience in full-service restaurants plays a key role in bringing customers back. More Canadian consumers are looking for a unique and novel dining experience with family and friends at the end of a busy week.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Cara Operations merges with Keg Restaurants

Cara Operations merged with Keg Restaurants in early 2018, and was the largest full-service restaurant operator in Canada. After the merger, in June 2018, Cara Operations changed its name to Recipe Unlimited Corp.

Lagging behind in the digital age

Full-service restaurants in Canada has been lagging behind in terms of digital transformation. Currently, many restaurants partner with third-party platforms to offer reservation services online, a trend that has been well-received by Canadian consumers.

Many large Asian chained limited-service restaurants have already entered Canada to compete for sales, but full-service restaurants also witnessed a few large Asian chained full-service restaurants coming onto the battlefield in recent years.
