While a lot has changed in the restaurant industry over the last year, one thing has remained the same: US consumers love their local restaurants. Despite rising food and energy costs, the majority of consumers are dining out more often this year (30% spend $180 per week on average). They are also ok with changes restaurants may make to adjust for recent hardships, including raising menu prices, decreasing portion sizes or adding a temporary inflation fee. Read our latest press release to learn more about consumer dining habits and their perspective on changes happening at restaurants.
While mindful of inflation and household budgets, UK consumers are more than happy to support their local restaurants, as many indicate they would cut back on new clothes, they gym, or travel before reducing their restaurant spend. Learn just how far UK consumers would go to keep their favorite restaurants open and how tech is influencing their dining preferences in our latest nationwide study.

September is Suicide Prevention and Awarness month. Mental health is such an important issue that we all need to be talking about. We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight one of our incredible employees, McKenna Roice, who started a non-profit, Dylan's Camp, in honor of her brother, Dylan. Dylan's Camp aims to bring awareness to mental health and support suicide prevention and loss through connection, service, and mental health tools and resources. The idea is to bring hope to those fighting their way out of the darkness. We couldn't be more proud of McKenna and how she has been a source of strength and light through a cause that is near and dear to so many. If you would like to support Dylan's Camp - you can buy a t-shirt, donate, or even just follow them on Instagram so you can find out how to be apart of their mission.
