Chained Consumer Foodservice is the Fastest-growing Segment
- Chained foodservice like fast-food restaurants and coffee houses/cafes are growing rapidly in Russia compared to fine dining and mid-range restaurants. Young and middle-aged consumers in Russia heavily purchase food from chain restaurants.
- Chained fast-food outlets are performing well in the country due to the overall popularity of franchising in Russia and the customers' preference for well-known and consistent food service standards provided by chained outlets. This led to the rapid expansion of major chain franchises across the country.
- Hence, major chained franchises in the country hold a significant market share for quick and consistent consumer service. Additionally, chained outlets tend to maintain consistency in taste, sanitation, and quality standards, encouraging consumers to visit chained outlets frequently compared to independent outlets in the market.
