Consumer Trends

The holiday season is looking particularly merry for restaurants this year

Projections call for heavy purchases of both on-premise and to-go meals, while consumers are already spending more on gift cards.

Taco Bell comes to the rescue of exam-cramming college students

Just in time for finals week, fans can get a Taco Bell SOS Kit delivered to their dorm room, designed to be eaten in bed.

The delivery service is making several policy changes after giving drivers in New York City a raise to $29.93 per hour.

The agreement includes a reported $100 million investment from Nestlé, which will help Wonder bring its unique model to other foodservice operations.

The company said drivers tend to reject orders that don’t include tips, so it’s testing out a reminder for customers.

Rising demand, better unit economics and an improving labor picture are enticing restaurants to keep the lights on long after dark.

The company plans to double its unit count by the end of next year and also has an acquisition up its sleeve.

Customers will be able to order from two restaurants at once without an added fee. Restaurants will be automatically enrolled in the program.

Tech Check: As delivery slows, some digitally focused restaurant companies are branching into meal kits, groceries and even airplane food.

With the new feature, some guests can get DoorDash credits when they check in at certain restaurants.
