In summary, full-service restaurants showed the highest growth in traffic, with a remarkable gain of 24%. However, quick-service establishments still dominated with a 67% share of all food service visits, showing a 9% increase during the quarter. Full-service establishments accounted for 22% of the total visits. The remaining share of traffic represents retail dining, including prepared foods in convenience stores and grocery stores, which experienced a 5% decline compared to the previous year.
And the good news doesn’t stop there. Statistics Canada also added its two cents last week by mentioning that even though retail food sales have been declining for some time due to persistent food inflation, the percentage of food service in relation to total food sales seems to have returned to its pre-pandemic level for the first time. Before the pandemic, the percentage stood at 39%.
