DECONSTRUCTING THE CONCEPT
June 2017

Itâs no secret that foodservice has evolved
in recent years to meet the needs and
desires of millennials. But now operators
are shifting attention to a younger
generation with growing spending power
and emerging influenceâGen Z.
Born between 1993 and 2003, Gen Z
comprises about 13% of the Canadian
population. In terms of life stages, many are
still receiving their high school or
university education, while older Gen Zers
are just starting to enter the workforce. As
this generation matures and grows its
spending power, itâs crucial for operators to
know Gen Zâs key dining preferences.
Letâs look at Technomicâs latest Canadian
Generational Consumer Trend Report for
what drives Gen Zâs foodservice purchases.
Clean Eating: Over three-quarters of Gen
Zers are likely to purchase items described
as clean. Further, Gen Zers are more
willing to pay extra for clean food than
other generations. Hormone-free,
preservative-free and organic claims are
among the clean-label attributes that Gen
Zers say encourage restaurant purchases.
Better Ambience: Nearly three in 10 Gen
Zers (29%) prioritize ambience and decor
at LSRs, a higher proportion than for all
other generations. Tabletop ordering,
interactive music and other technology can
greatly increase the appeal of a restaurant
for todayâs youth. Services such as
tableside preparations and communal
dining can also enhance the ambiance for
these social diners.
Blurred Dayparts: Nearly eight out of 10
Gen Z consumers (78%) enjoy breakfast
foods at nontraditional times. Snacking
occasions are also on the rise as younger
diners want access to around-the-clock
foodservice options.
Unique Flavours: Nearly two-thirds of
Gen Z consumers (64%) like to try new
flavours. As the most ethnically diverse
generation, Gen Zers often seek out global
options that feature authentic and fusion
preparations and ingredients. LTOs that
showcase worldly sauces and condiments
can deliver new flavour experiences and
drive repeat traffic.
Customization: The ability to build a meal
to their liking is key for Gen Z compared to
other generations, as half of Gen Zers agree
that customization is important when
choosing a restaurant. Operators can cater
to this significance by offering build-your-
own options and condiment stations, and by
varying portion sizes on the menu.
While Gen Zers are still in the process of
forming their dining attitudes and
preferences, operators who address this
generationâs current demands are laying the
groundwork for winning Gen Zâs loyalty as
it enters the workforce and builds spending
power in the near future.
Laying the Groundwork for Gen Z Loyalty

LEADING FISH ENTREES
Salmon is among the top fish entrees on Canadian menus, according
to Technomicâs MenuMonitor database. Frequently billed as a
healthy option, salmon easily adapts to a variety of flavours, ranging
from Southern barbecue to Asian teriyaki to Indian tikka.
Alternatively, fish and chips is also a popular option on menus. This
indulgent, fried classic is a staple at restaurants, with some operators
even giving the dish their own twist with housemade batters or
dipping sauces. For example, The 3 Brewers menus its Beer
Battered Fish and Chips, featuring cod dipped in a housemade
blonde beer batter, and ABC Country Restaurant offers a Pacific
Cod and Chips in a housemade Steamworks beer batter.
Also on the list is cod. This fish, available year round, is frequently
sourced from within Canada, such as Ottawa, Ontario-based
Becktaâs Blue Cornmeal-Coated Fogo Island Cod and Toronto-
based Canoeâs Newfoundland Cod. This variety of fish is also
prepared in a variety of ways, such as fried, grilled, pan-seared and
poached.
