3 Hot Takeout Trends For 2021!

1. The take-out and delivery business has never been so strong. COVID accelerated an already growing part of your business. As dine-in customers return next year, the work you have done to refine your take-out business model will continue to thrive for years ahead. According to Datassential, consumers now believe that getting a haircut or visiting a hair salon is twice as risky as getting a food delivery from a restaurant.

2. COVID helped you discover new menu options that will remain strong in 2021. Few operators thought of offering meal kits, “take & bake” menus or alcoholic beverage delivery before the pandemic. These new options can have a significant impact on your sales this year. Based on a recent operator survey, family meal deals and take & bake options will be a new revenue generator this year.

3. You learned new ways to serve great food more efficiently. Partially prepared foods, simpler menu items to prepare and pared down menus require less prep and help you serve food faster. These new process efficiencies will help improve margins and overall profitability for years to come.
