Booming Breakfast Trends
The breakfast market is booming and has evolved into a much wider dining experience, from quick on-the-go options to extravagant brunches. Breakfast and brunch is no longer limited to just the morning, but has expanded across the entire day, with outlets now incorporating all-day breakfast dishes on their menus to satisfy ‘Breakfastarians’ – those who are looking for breakfast dishes throughout the day.
In the last year, the total value of the breakfast occasion has grown to a staggering £11.6 billion[1]. To profit from this occasion operators need to perfect their morning and all-day menus.
Start your day right with these top breakfast trends!
- Make your offering diverse – Serving a breakfast menu that can consumed both on-the-go or as a sit down meal will help broaden your customer appeal.
- All-day awareness – If you offer an all-day breakfast then make sure your customers know! Use point of sale material to advertise your all-day breakfast dishes or ensure staff inform customers whilst they browse the menu.
- Speed if key – for those looking to grab and go ensure your breakfast products can be prepared, packaged quickly and allow ease of consumption on the move.
Ready, Set, Go
The grab and go breakfast market has grown 9.5% to 263m occasions over the last year[2] and is expected to be worth £23.6 billion by 2022. Creating a menu to suit this growing market is key to driving profit.
So just what’s hot, and what’s not, at breakfast time:
- Savoury breakfast – savoury options such as breakfast sandwiches are continuing to see growth within the market. Breakfast muffins, bagels, and of course the traditional full English are ideal on menus.
- Sweet or savoury, let your customers choose – Along with the rise in savoury, breakfast favourites such as waffles and pancakes can be consumed with either sweet or savoury toppings allowing customers to personalise their choice and operators to upsell extras, building profits.
- Power of protein – Meat based breakfasts are perfect for providing protein, but for those looking to consume their protein differently, offerings like a protein bowls packed with nuts, egg and greens is an ideal alternative.
