Observations
The Most preferred innovative item seems to be the introduction ofTandoori idly inrestaurants followed by Kids menu.
The Trend of Kids menu has started ,where in kids are given separate menus with far lessrate and quantity as compared to normal n\menus
Few restaurants have even started giving kids card which offers discounts for kids, whichinduces kids to pamper their parents to come again and again to the same restaurant.
A large part of consumers feel that the restaurant if gives same menu at a better quality,no such innovation is required.

Observations
It has now become a norm to go with a group of people to restaurants rather than go aloneonly for a good meal.
The Main Reason why consumers tend to go out with a group is as followsIts nice to be able to look at a menu, pick anything you want on it, and someone brings it to you and
cleans it up afterward. For many people, it alleviates the burden of housework as well. For students,
going out to eat is about the only luxury that they can afford! While sitting at a private table, waiting ona meal, guests can focus entirely on conversation. This is why people go out to restaurants on dates. A
restaurant provides the setting for the perfect mini-vacation, just a short drive away
Almost 50% of the population prefers to go with their family, followed by 44% opting togo with their friends.
