Restaurant Trends in 2024

Trend forecasting alert: Restaurants that prioritize community engagement in 2024 can expect a meaningful impact on their customers. Restaurant owners are always looking for ways to remain front of mind for their customers, which includes providing enticing messaging on an ongoing basis and growing substantial roots within a local scene. Here are a few ways customer-centric communications and partnerships will set restaurants apart this year.

  • Right place, right time marketing: Restaurants are prioritizing the type of eating experience that meets customers where they are at a specific moment and caters to their journey. Offering in-the-moment solutions means communicating relevant offers during the moments that matter. The use of technology for personalized customer experiences is on the rise, with restaurants incorporating data-driven insights to tailor promotions, menus, and loyalty programs, enhancing customer engagement and satisfaction.
  • Build on a foundation of user-generated content: UGC is one of many ways to create an effective feedback loop with customers and to build social capital among loyal fans of a restaurant. Real people sharing their positive experiences builds a sense of community trust and grounds a restaurant brand in the authentic role it plays in its community. Authenticity remains crucial for restaurant marketing. A local clientele will value genuine storytelling that communicates a brand’s values, origin stories, and unique identity, helping build trust and connection with customers.
  • Be a local hero: Building connections within local communities is a growing trend for restaurants – especially those that want a true neighborhood feel. Collaborating with nearby businesses, participating in local events, and fostering a sense of community can create a stronger bond with customers.
