Special Focus: Quick Service Restaurants

Delicious and Nutritious Food
for a World on the Go
Every lunch hour throughout the country, thousands of
hungry Canadians wrack their brains over what to eat. If they
didn’t pack a lunch, they’ll likely make their way to one of
Canada’s more than 75,000 food service franchise units. It’s a
fact: Canadians love to dine with the franchise model. More
Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) members are involved in
the food service industry than any other sector, and with good
reason. The food services sector makes up a significant portion
of the franchise industry’s total growth, and continues to thrive.
When it comes to keeping up with the fast-paced lifestyle of
hardworking Canadians, quick service restaurant franchises are
on the ball. According to IBISWorld, a provider of independent
market research, increased consumer spending and ongoing
product innovation by quick service restaurants has renewed
consumer interest in “fast food”. Products with higher profit
margins have been put front and centre at quick service
restaurants, resulting in an increase in the average industry
profit margin. According to a 2018 IBISWorld report, quick service
restaurants are a $26-billion industry in Canada, with annual
growth of 4.1 per cent between 2013 and 2018.
This special section looks at the emergence of the quick service
restaurant franchise model, and how it relates to the Canadian
food service industry as a whole. It also highlights the franchises
that are making convenience a top priority for their busy
customers. Read on to discover the franchise opportunities
available in this appetizing segment!

Types of Restaurants
Some franchise models are very easy to define. Quick service restaurants, for example, and, on the
other end of the spectrum, fine dining. But then there are those in between, like fast casual, that sit
somewhere in the middle.

Quick Service Restaurants:
Quick service restaurants have a focused menu and food is usually ordered at a counter and then brought
to a table or taken out to eat. Many quick service restaurants offer drive-thru ordering for customer
convenience.
Also in the quick service category are fast casual restaurants. These establishments feature an ordering
counter like quick service restaurants, with accoutrements like non-plastic cutlery and dishes and a
made-to-order menu. Fast casual is generally considered to be positioned between quick service
restaurants and casual dining restaurants.

Full Service Restaurants:
Full service restaurants can be categorized by having a large menu and offering table service attended
by wait staff. Within full service restaurants, further sub-categories can be defined, such as:
Fine dining, featuring an upscale menu in a formal atmosphere
Casual dining, featuring moderately-priced food in a more relaxed atmosphere
Casual dining restaurants attract guests for a number of reasons, including the casual atmosphere, menu
options, and family-friendly environment (with special menus and considerations for children and seniors).
