How to Turn Restaurant Omni-channel Into Restaurant Omni-profitable
The restaurant industry is at a breaking point. In 2025, more establishments will face closure than ever before—not for lack of passion, but because of crushing labour costs, food costs and delivery fees.
The Hard Truth:
Restaurants that survived COVID by embracing delivery sales are now facing a perfect storm. The ongoing cost of living crisis has fundamentally changed consumer behaviour—with more customers choosing to have food at home to cut expenses. Families are trading restaurant meals and food delivery for home-cooked dinners, grocery store deals, and budget-friendly meal preparations. This shift is squeezing restaurant margins from every angle: reduced foot traffic, higher operational costs, and more discerning spending.
