However, changes in consumer tastes and the way diners engage with restaurants, alongside increasing use of technology, provide opportunities for growth if properly harnessed The UK casual dining sector is going through a challenging period with margin pressures mounting as a result of higher labour costs, higher business rates and increased food costs. At the same time, consumer confidence is falling, with inflation and sluggish wage growth beginning to squeeze disposable incomes. Notwithstanding the challenges facing the sector, we see some key consumer trends emerging that casual dining operators can capitalise on in order to prosper in the current environment. These include a desire for more healthy eating, informal and experiential dining experiences, as well as increased consumer focus on food provenance and sustainability.
