Summary
Why was the report written?
This report is the result of an extensive survey drawn from Canadean’s exclusive panel of leading 196 senior UK industry foodservice operators. Most secondary research reports are based on general industry drivers and do not understand the industry executives’ attitude and changing behaviors, creating a gap in presenting the business outlook of the foodservice industry. In an effort to bridge this gap, Canadean created this primary-research based report by gathering the opinions of multiple stake holders in the value-chain of the UK foodservice industry.
What is the current market landscape and what is changing?
Overall responses reveal that 51% of respondents identify ‘smart phone based software (mobile ordering and payment)’ to have the highest demand among intelligent POS technologies. Additionally, ‘Centralized POS systems for whole enterprise’ is another intelligent POS technology that is in demand within the UK foodservice industry.
What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Overall analysis of responses shows that ‘cost efficient for small units’, ‘easy access from multiple locations’, and ‘fast and easy implementation’ are considered the top three advantages of intelligent POS software by 50%, 42%, and 36% of respondents respectively.
