As we discussed last week, Gen Z’s massive spending power is reshaping brand strategies across every consumer industry. Here’s how some brands are responding: * Caribou Coffee is creating a dating show on TikTok. * Bojangles is launching Instagram-famous menu items like Bo-Berry cookies. * Chicken Salad Chick is tapping local influencers for improved imagery and virality. While these are good first steps, the companies that will truly win the Gen Z market will be those that rethink their entire customer experience, with a focus on digital engagement. Gen Z is the first generation to grow up with smartphones. Viral mobile apps like Duolingo, Clash of Clans, and Strava show that gamified experiences and a sense of community are key to retention. Restaurants of the future will need to offer digital experiences that are both fun and community-driven, blending online and in-store interactions into a cohesive, engaging journey. Gamification is crucial, but so is integrating all customer touchpoints. Whether it’s ordering online, dining on-premise, engaging on social media, or participating in branded events, the experience needs to be seamless and consistently engaging. For Gen Z, great food isn’t enough; the overall customer experience must be meaningful and memorable. At Hang, we allow brands to also offer rewards for non-purchase actions, such as engaging on social media, completing branded challenges, playing minigames, or referring friends. Brands can even offer gated specialty products or experiences to the most loyal customers to create a sense of exclusivity and “VIP treatment” for their superfans. We provide the tools for any brand to undergo a true digital transformation and redefine their engagement with customers across every touchpoint. If you’re a restaurant looking to adapt your digital strategy for the modern consumer, I’d love to tell you more– DM me!

And while fast food does dominate the list of the country’s top 10 most profitable restaurants, just outside those rankings sit a couple full-service sit-down restaurants whose annual sales sit comfortably in the billions. One is Olive Garden, with 908 restaurants and earnings totaling $5.1 billion in 2023. The other, perhaps unexpectedly, is Texas Roadhouse, the 19th biggest restaurant chain in America with $4.8 billion in sales last year.  https://lnkd.in/gGxB4aST
