🍔🍗 KFC meets Burger King! Who saw that coming? At Mintel, we didn't predict THIS particular fusion, but with the global slowdown in retail product innovation, we’ve been urging brands to inject fun and novelty through bold collaborations, as highlighted in our 2025 Food & Drink Trend, Rule Rebellion. Well, these foodservice giants squashed their beef (sorry!), said "Hold my fries", and showed us how it's done, co-creating a new burger in France celebrating the best of both brands. Brand collaborations, whether within or outside the food industry, can grab attention, encourage trial, and expand audiences. Take Dove’s recent partnership with viral cookie brand Crumbl, bringing foodie flavours to personal care. So, food industry insiders, do these partnerships disrupt the norm and create opportunities? Or are they just noisy gimmicks?

What's Driving Growth in the Pizza Market? 🍕 📈 Consumer spending on pizza is set to rise in the coming years, but the big question is: Who will benefit most from this growth? 📍 In Europe: Independent Restaurants Still Dominate Independent pizza restaurants lead the market, and analysts expect them to maintain the majority share through 2026 and beyond. Chains are growing too however! QSR Pizza chains saw strong per capita spending growth in the last year: 🇬🇧 UK: +9% CAGR 🇪🇸 Spain: +15% CAGR 🇫🇷 France & 🇩🇪 Germany: +6% CAGR each 📍 In North America: Chains Reign Supreme Pizza chains dominate the market and are forecast to retain their leadership through 2026 and beyond. While independents will also grow, chains remain the driving force. 🏆 The Big Players: Domino’s, Papa John’s & Pizza Hut These three companies control 35% of the QSR pizza market across Europe and North America. Domino’s leads the pack, outperforming competitors in both regions. As consumer spending grows, the pizza market is sizzling with opportunity. Whether it’s the potential for chains in Europe or continued dominance in North America, it'll be interesting to see if someone can disrupt things. #PizzaMarket #FoodIndustry #PizzaGrowth #ConsumerTrends #Dominos #PapaJohns #PizzaHut

"Value meal wars heat up as more fast food spots, restaurants offer discounted menu items" 🍔 🌮 🍕 As more and more brands chase Foot Traffic it's important to remember a very simple rubric: at a 25% discount and 50% gross margin, you have to 2x (❗) your sales to realize the same overall gross profit 😳 Wendy's , Starbucks, Chili's, et al are definitely seeing traffic bumps via the value meals...but does the profit from the incremental traffic cover the reduced margin on expected sales? That's a lot less certain...especially for the Franchisees 😐 One McDonald's franchisee group recently put it bluntly: “There simply is not enough profit to discount 30% for this model to be sustainable" Relevant links in the comments! h/t: Talon.One & Sam Panzer for the snazzy chart 🙌 Placer.ai Upside NACS

Promotions that don’t generate enough volume to turn a profit can lead to lower EBITDA margins, particularly for franchisees. The restauarnt value menu market is crowded and running traffic-driving promotions is more important than ever. How do you use data to take a more predictable approach on promotions?
