Market Observations

Supermarket foodservice is one of the fastest growing segments in the away-from-home food industry and its underlying fundamentals suggest continued robust performance.

Food and beverages being offered within supermarket foodservice are far more sophisticated than one to two years ago.

Market Observations

One of the primary reasons for the strong historical and projected growth of supermarket foodservice is that core consumer needs are being met – not least among them being the desire for restaurant quality at less-than-restaurant pricing.
