So, how is <a href=\"\/services\/data-analytics\/\">data analytics<\/a> reshaping the restaurant industry?<\/p>\n<p>Data has become one of the most important ingredients for restaurants; the ingredient that helps them stay relevant. Businesses are sitting on heaps of data, which is a treasure in today\u2019s ferociously competitive restaurant industry. How can companies turn data into insights that will help inform business decisions? Through data analytics.<\/p>\n<p>There are several different types of analytics that help restaurants extract actionable insights from raw, unstructured data. In this post, we\u2019re going to talk about three types of analytics: customer analytics, feedback analytics, and location analytics.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h2>Customer-level analytics<\/h2>\n<p>Data analytics can help restaurants truly understand their core customers. Who are they? What are they looking for? How often do they stop by? Analysing data points and looking at the right parameters will enable restaurants to segment their customers based on factors like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Demographics<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Age, gender, marital status, income<\/li>\n<li>Segmenting customers by key demographic variables can help restaurants tailor recommendations and offers to specific segments based on such things as income levels and age.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transactions<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Do consumers purchase one item, a full meal, a drink, all of the above? What are the most popular items?<\/li>\n<li>Restaurants will need to target different customers differently. For example, messages targeting customers who only buy quick snacks will differ from messages targeting customers who buy full meals on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visit pattern<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>When do customers visit the restaurant? What\u2019s the most popular day\/time? How do customers who visit during lunch differ from those who visit during dinner time?<\/li>\n<li>Examining visit patterns can help restaurateurs decide whether they should offer different menus throughout the day. It will also help them explore trends around popular days\/times and plan accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Customer analytics and segmentation allows restaurateurs to classify consumers based on behaviors, demographics, and other identifiable patterns. With guest-specific intelligence and better segmentation, restaurants can devise engagement strategies that generate powerful results.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-44711 aligncenter\" src=\"\/wpe-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/19Q3-Creative-Blog-DAC-Restaurants-Data-Analytics-Body-Image-.jpg\" alt=\"Two men ordering at a fast food counter\" width=\"860\" height=\"429\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Answering questions that revolve around consumer behavior and preferences has fundamentally helped KFC, as <a href=\"https:\/\/the-message.ca\/2019\/05\/24\/kfcs-roadmap-to-digital-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ostrom explained<\/a>: \u201cWhat do our best customers buy? What do new customers buy? And how do we understand what is the right message, to the right person, at the right time, so we are able to impact our entire media buy to make it more efficient and drive ROI.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Feedback analytics<\/h2>\n<p>Where do the real improvements and opportunities lie? This is what customer reviews can uncover. <a href=\"\/blog\/3-ways-responding-to-restaurant-reviews-can-boost-your-seo\/\">Feedback and reviews<\/a> are very powerful and very valuable in helping you deliver better experiences, products, and services to your customers. By taking a holistic approach and looking at a combination of reviews (online and offline), feedback, and social media conversations, restaurateurs can effectively gauge customer satisfaction and their service level.<\/p>\n<p>Are customers receptive to that new menu item that was just released? What do they think of the service? Is it slow? Is your staff friendly enough? How do they feel about the ambience? Do customers think that your prices are too high? Are they comparing you to other restaurants\/competitors? Feedback analytics can help you answer an array of questions, unearthing hidden insights that may otherwise go unnoticed. Moreover, analysing customer feedback allows for timely intervention in resolving customer complaints.<\/li>\n<section data-role=\"forward-email-subscription-container\" class=\"full-width w-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center bg-c7f2b3\">\n    \n    <div class=\"max-w-1400 w-100 form\">\n        <div class=\"text-content-container\">\n            <h2>\n                Stay Forward            <\/h2>\n            <p class=\"subtitle\">\n                Get exclusive insights into digital <br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\">media's top-trending topics delivered<br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\"> directly to your inbox.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div data-role=\"form-group\">\n            <div class=\"d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n                <form data-forward-email-form class='custom-hubspot-form' id='hubspot_form_69d0523c89961'>\n    <div class='d-flex input'>\n        <input type='email' class='form-control me-2 input' placeholder='Email address' aria-label='Email' name='email' required>\n        <button type='submit' class='btn_primary-filled_white'>Submit\n<\/button>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class='hubspot-status'><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<script>\njQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n    var form = $('#hubspot_form_69d0523c89961');\n    form.on('submit', function(event) {\n        event.preventDefault();\n\n        \/\/ Get email input value\n        var emailInput = form.find('input[name=\"email\"]');\n        var email = emailInput.val().trim();\n\n        \/\/ Required HubSpot fields\n        var portalId = '5408011';\n        var formId = '0c9a9cec-eb1c-44ac-920f-687ce0230830';\n\n        \/\/ Prepare the data payload\n        var data = {\n            fields: [\n                {\n                    name: 'email',\n                    value: email\n                }\n            ],\n            context: {\n                pageUri: window.location.href,\n                pageName: document.title\n            },\n            submittedAt: new Date().getTime()\n        };\n\n        \/\/ Get the status element for this form\n        var statusElement = form.siblings('.forward-email-status-container');\n\n        \/\/ Send the data to HubSpot\n        fetch('https:\/\/api.hsforms.com\/submissions\/v3\/integration\/submit\/5408011\/0c9a9cec-eb1c-44ac-920f-687ce0230830', {\n            method: 'POST',\n            headers: {\n                'Content-Type': 'application\/json'\n            },\n            body: JSON.stringify(data)\n        })\n        .then(response => {\n            if (response.ok) {\n                if(statusElement) {\n                    statusElement.text('Thanks for Subscribing!');\n                    statusElement.css('color', 'green');\n                }\n\n                var userInfo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('userInfo'));\n                if (userInfo) {\n                    userInfo.event = 'Form_submit';\n                    userInfo.email = email;\n                    userInfo.form_name = 'Newsletter';\n                    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\n                    window.dataLayer.push(userInfo);\n                }\n\n                emailInput.val(''); \/\/ Clear the email field\n                window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('newsletter-submit'));\n            } else {\n                return response.json().then(error => {\n                    if(statusElement) {\n                        statusElement.text('Error: ' + error.message);\n                        statusElement.css({\n                            'color': 'red',\n                            'padding-top': '10px'\n                        });\n                    }\n                });\n            }\n        })\n        .catch(error => {\n            console.error('Error:', error);\n            statusElement.text(\"There was an error submitting the form.\");\n            statusElement.css({\n                'color': 'red',\n                'padding-top': '10px'\n            });\n        });\n    });\n\n    window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {\n        const isFormCallback = event.data.type === 'hsFormCallback';\n        const isFormSubmitted = event.data.eventName === 'onFormSubmitted';\n        const iscurrentForm = !!event?.data?.id ?

Connecting with people at the right time (in this case, when they\u2019re deciding what to eat) is of paramount importance, and KFC has been exploring how to do that using data. This is when the importance of local marketing comes into play.<\/p>\n<p>Consumers want things now, and they want things nearby. This is especially true when consumers are looking for a place to eat. \u201cHow do we get in front of those customers to make sure they choose KFC?\u201d asked Ostrom. He went on to explain that geo-fencing stores to deliver the right message when a potential customer is nearby and is in the process of deciding what to have for lunch is how they strive to remain competitive, relevant, and local.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44736 size-full\" src=\"\/wpe-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/19Q3-Creative-Blog-DAC-Restaurants-Data-Analytics.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of hands using a pink smartphone.\" width=\"860\" height=\"430\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cuebiq.com\/resource-center\/resources\/location-intelligence-qsr-marketers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report by Cuebiq<\/a>, more than two-thirds (69%) of fast-food marketers plan to increase their use of location data over the next two years.

Burger King presented a digital coupon offering the 1-cent Whopper to consumers when they were within 600 feet of one of McDonald\u2019s 14,000 locations. Brilliant, is it not?<\/p>\n<p>According to an article by Adweek: \u201cWhopper Detour increased the BK mobile app sales by three times during the nine-day promotion and by two times ever since the promotion ended. This campaign catapulted BK\u2019s app from a modest No. 686 in the app store to No. 1 across all categories, on both iOS and Android.
