QUICK SERVICE RESTAURANTS

The secret sauce behind smarter QSR decisions

Traditional quick service restaurants (QSRs)are feeling the heat with competition intensifying from all sides.

The lines between QSR, retail and food-to-go are blurring. Supermarket hot-food counters and prepacked meals, forecourt food offers, township fast-food outlets and established QSR brands increasingly compete for the same shopper and meal occasion.
