The Challenge
In the immediate aftermath of the pandemic a large foodservice manufacturer needed to find a way to get a pulse on where the industry was headed. For years they relied on Circana’s customized forecasting capabilities for specific projects, but they now needed a more standard, quicker, ongoing, and affordable read on the broader market for better demand planning.
Insight
Circana’s Future of™ Foodservice forecasts tracked many key pieces of the industry at the same time, including future performance for important service modes (i.e., drive-thru), and recovery perspectives for QSR and FSR, to help them plan their production.
The Results
