Consumers are willing to spend but is your restaurant positioned to capture their cash?

McKinsey and KitchenHub research finds experiential dining is up 46% year over year, with nearly half of Americans saying they're more likely to book when there's "something special" involved. At the same time, consumers report spending roughly $90/week on food and are making increasingly selective choices — cutting back on routine visits while splurging on memorable experiences. Food-away-from-home prices are forecast up 4.6% in 2026.

⏰An Engineer-Turned-Chef Brings Systems Thinking to High-Volume Kitchen Operations

A feature from Restaurant Business spotlights Ankish Shetty, a former engineer who now applies professional systems thinking to restaurant operations — including batch cooking protocols, team training documentation, and waste reduction frameworks — at Restaurant Associates.

Consulting's new report makes it clear: restaurants can no longer grow by raising prices. With traffic still under pressure (QSR traffic fell -1.2% YOY in Q2 2026), operators need to find hidden margin inside their existing operations.

Why Careful Growth Is Vital for Restaurant Chains

Nick Marsh, CEO of Founders Table Restaurant Group (parent company to Chop't, Dos Toros, Protein Bar, and recently acquired Hopdoddy Burger Bar), sat down with the Restaurant Business podcast to discuss why measured, deliberate growth outperforms aggressive expansion in the current environment. The conversation centers on the group's acquisition strategy and how chains benefit from growing together rather than independently.
