Restaurants

It’s fast marketing more than fast food that is limiting the full potential of MROI in the restaurant sector today. A focus on short-term franchise results, largely through product-focused communications and promotions, is coming at the expense of true brand growth and long-term value. Fortunately, more of today’s marketers are looking towards analytics to try to break this mold.

Marketers are Asking Questions Like:

Efficient

How can I leverage national efficiencies to make new footprint addition more efficient?

Integrate

How can I integrate brand and consumer metrics into my analytical models to help rationalize investments?

Relationships

How can I deepen customer relationships and permit more expansive models of product innovation?

Although it is important to manage the short term and address corporate, investor and franchisee stakeholders, the process cannot be done at the expense of long-term returns. A holistic model is needed to help understand and quantify this trade-off.

It’s not necessarily an easy path. For example, stakeholders are often skeptical of the role of brand media, believing that product is paramount. With a common organizational bias to local efforts (vs the national good), creating a business case for change is not easy—selling it through is even harder.
