What is a market research firm for restaurants?

A restaurant market research firm provides an objective view of the local area: consumers, consumption habits, existing supply, price points, and opportunities to seize. Its role is to turn intuition into documented decision-making.

It examines data relevant to the project: demographics, purchasing power, local attractions, mobility, seasonality, foot traffic, and accessibility, in order to qualify the viability of a location.

It also studies direct and indirect competitors, their concepts, positioning, and strengths, to identify a credible differentiating angle in the market.

Finally, it provides actionable recommendations for choosing a restaurant location, the concept, the business plan, and the estimated projected revenue.

What services does a restaurant market research firm offer?

A firm specializing in the restaurant industry evaluates the feasibility of a startup, acquisition, or development project to secure commercial assumptions before financial commitment.

It conducts a restaurant site analysis: catchment area analysis, supply mapping, field observation, qualification of potential customer flows, and identification of consumer profiles.

Finally, it delivers a restaurant competitive analysis and an estimate of the restaurant's commercial potential, with footfall, average check, and revenue scenarios consistent with the site.

Stéphane Keulian - Food Business Leader, Ingka Centres

When managing the commercial offerings at French train stations, we sometimes need expert support. With its insight into F&B trends, its bold approach, and its commitment to simple, generous cuisine, Tomorrow Food helped us rethink what a significant part of station catering could be (and will be): regional cuisine, accessible to everyone, complementing local restaurant offerings and meeting evolving customer expectations. From menu development to artistic direction, Tomorrow Food assembled a complete and complementary team.

Adrien Lavayssière - Development Director at Retail & Connexion

Aiming to launch a retail-focused innovation lab offering food services, we approached Tomorrow Food in 2023. After several weeks of collaborative brainstorming, we conceived an original concept: Bistro Hasard, located near Saint-Lazare Station. Launched in April 2024, this establishment offers innovative gaming-themed experiences. This unique venture required a complete alignment of visions between Tomorrow Food and us, as well as unwavering mutual trust. By combining these two ingredients, we successfully developed a one-of-a-kind establishment that satisfies customers and is becoming a benchmark.

Rodolphe Barquin - Innovation Director, FDJ UNITED

From concept creation to detailed definition, the team demonstrated true professionalism, responsiveness, and valuable expertise. Communication was excellent within the project team and with our board. The financial figures were well-structured and consistent. The TFA team was attentive and willing to challenge themselves to bring our project to fruition.
