Key Findings
- Increasingly fast-paced life and larger share of single person households is driving demand for convenient quick meal options such as fast food and baked goods.

- The Foodservice industry in Germany is experiencing growing popularity of fast casual restaurants also known as “better burger” concepts. These fast casual outlets meet the needs and lifestyle of urban population, posing a threat to traditional fast food and casual dining restaurants as they emphasis on higher quality such as using fresh food over frozen and fried.

- Growing consumer awareness towards health and wellness is driving innovations in the menus as well as formats in the Foodservice industry.

- Foodservice consumers are getting increasingly conscious about their health and want to be informed about the ingredients and their origins in food. While this trend has been in place for last few years but with new European labeling law coming into effect in December 2014, it becomes mandatory for the restaurant operators to provide more transparency in their menus about ingredients used such as allergen information and origin information for fresh meat and oils.

- To better understand the changing consumer needs, Foodservice operators are trying to connect more with the consumers, for example, through social and digital media.

- Many Foodservice operators are developing mobile order and mobile payment apps in order to reduce wait time and thereby, expand customer base.
