time and effort, dining out has become an essential part of their routine.
Let’s dive into some key findings from a recent survey of 491 families, brought
to you by the Affinity
Group, with an added touch of insights from the Grocerant Guru!
Increased Dining Out:
A striking 74% of families report dining out more often this year compared to
last. This significant rise is driven by the need to save time and reduce the
effort of meal preparation. Did you know that only 35% of people know what they
want for dinner by noon, and this figure only rises to 55% by 4 PM? It’s no
wonder families are opting for the convenience of dining out!

Convenience is king, with 60% of families dining out specifically to save time
and effort. Meanwhile, 42% are looking for good value for their money, showing
that affordability is also top of mind.
Variety Matters:

a strong demand for variety. This diversity ensures that every family member
can find something they love, making dining out a more enjoyable experience.
