New report reveals 78% of adults under the age of 35 would
dine out more often if it were more enjoyable.
DAYTON,
Ohio, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
award-winning agency ChangeUp published results from a
nationwide survey to better understand what guests value most about
the restaurant experience. The report, How Much Does Experience
Matter to Customers, was conducted to explore the customer
journey at fast casual and casual dining restaurants.
ChangeUp, who recently designed new prototypes for clients
including Panda Express, Burger King, Panera Bread, and Sixpoint
Brewery, surveyed over 500 people across the U.S. who visited
a fast casual or casual dining restaurant in the past three
months.
"There's no denying that customers' evolving preferences are
reshaping the restaurant landscape, but it's clear that the dine-in
experience remains critical in delivering value," said ChangeUp's
Chief Creative Officer, Ryan
Brazelton. "At ChangeUp, we believe these shifts shouldn't
be something restaurants fear, but something that provides endless
opportunity for reinvention and innovation."
Key findings from the report include:
- Over 1/3 of guests often feel disappointed with the restaurant
experience when dining out.
- 78% of adults under the age of 35 would dine out more often if
it were more enjoyable.
- 66% of consumers believe a desirable experience is more
important than price and convenience.
The goal of the study was to better understand customers'
decision-making process and how restaurants can better serve their
needs, beyond the basics of cost and convenience.
ChangeUp's 2024 Restaurant Industry Report covers other topics
including:
- How restaurants can elevate their value offerings.
- What makes customers dine out more often.
- What guests value most from their dining experience.

Methodology:
ChangeUp conducted the survey in Q2
2024 of over 500 people nationwide. Respondents had to be over
the age of 22 and responsible for making decisions on where to
eat out. ChangeUp balanced age and income to census to ensure the
survey could look for demographic differences.
