The Burger Consumer Trend Report: A Comprehensive Resource Identifying Trends and Opportunities in Foodservice

Technomic Inc, July 2009, Pages: 262

TAP INTO GROWING BURGER SALES AND DISCOVER...

Burgers are one of the hottest trends on today’s dining scene. In our national survey of over 1,200 consumers, 94% reported eating burgers at least occasionally. This valuable report helps operators and suppliers capitalize on burger sales by:
- Leveraging overwhelming consumer acceptance: Target the 91% of consumers who say they eat a burger at least once a month and the 44% who are consuming burgers at least once a week.
- Addressing multiple consumer needstates: Maintain precise focus on select consumer demographic trends, including mid-day burger snackers, of which 70% are male and only 30% are female.
- Creating craveability: Nearly a third (30%) of consumers select a burger to satisfy a burger craving—the highest selection driver for all factors questioned..
- Providing niche offerings: Self-identified “ dieters” and “ healthy eaters” are nearly four times more likely to order a veggie burger then self-definied “indulgers.”
