Never fear if you didn’t; we’ve got your back.
In today’s Kanekt 365 blog, we share essential statistics in the QSR industry. Why should you know them? Well, everything you do should be based on data and statistics. We often say, “What gets measured, gets done.” But unfortunately, the reverse is also true: “What doesn’t get measured is left undone.”
Statistics in the QSR Industry Matter!
In Marketing, you need to ask yourself—whom are you trying to reach and why? Where are they? How many are there?
You should ask yourself about trends—What are the new trends in the QSR industry? Do you offer services that people want? Are you meeting your customers’ needs?
Are your services comparable with your competition? — Are you using old services that can be improved upon? Should you alter (or the new fun word—pivot) your current services? Is there a service your competition is offering that you are not?
These questions are vital to a QSR franchise or restaurant’s success.
Ready? Here are the most recent QSR industry stats you should know, according to Zippia.com
- There are 197,653 fast-food restaurant businesses as of 2021. This is important because you compete with the percentage of restaurants in your local area.
