With a decline in pub visits, there's been a noticeable impact on the purchase share of classic pub fare, according to recent data from Lumina Intelligence Eating and Drinking Out Panel. Chips/wedges/fries and burgers have seen a dip of -9.9ppts and -8.4ppts respectively. This trend highlights fewer pub occasions, which are directly influencing the demand for traditional favourites. On the flip side, the rise in restaurant occasions reflects an interesting surge in steak and pasta dishes this year.

The Intriguing Shape of: Ficelle A baguette that went on diet. The ficelle, French for "string," is another exemplar of form meeting function. Like the baguette, the ficelle’s shape serves practical purposes. Baking Speed: Compared to the baguette its thinner shape and half the weight allows it to bake even faster, making it ideal for high-turnover settings where freshness is paramount. Cultural Dining: The ficelle serves as the perfect appetizer bread. Its thin, easily torn sections are ideal for small, shareable bites, complementing a variety of spreads and charcuterie. For Crust Lovers: The ficelle's higher crust-to-crumb ratio, favoring the crust, makes it the ideal choice for those who savor a crunchier texture. 🍔🍔 I am Stephane.

I don't need a special reason to enjoy a delicious burger. But International Burger Day definitely gives me one! As we savor the flavors of International Burger Day, let's also digest an important aspect of business acumen—Pricing Strategy. Understanding how to price your products effectively is as crucial as mastering the perfect burger blend. Consider the classic burger, typically more affordable and appealing due to its universal charm. Contrast this with a gourmet burger, which often features unique ingredients and a distinctive flair, justifying a higher price point. The secret? It's all about knowing your audience. Gourmet burgers cater to a niche market that values exotic and diverse tastes, willing to pay a premium for an enhanced dining experience. So, whether you’re pricing a burger or setting the price for a new service, the principle remains the same: Know your market, understand the value you offer, and price accordingly to ensure customer satisfaction and business success. Now, let's hear from you! I want to know: Do you prefer a classic burger or a gourmet burger? Personally, I love a good smash burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and special sauce. Let me know your vote below! #InternationalBurgerDay #PricingStrategy #RestaurantSuccess #RestaurantIndustry #RestaurantAccounting #CFOinsights
