Streamlined Dining Concepts Buoy the Industry During Unprecedented Times

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The pandemic, as well as the measures that were implemented to combat it, have damaged the economy across the board. Yet, the restaurant and dining market in particular was hit severely. Full-service and fast-food restaurants are the two largest segments of the commercial food service market and together add up to represent about 73.1% of all food-away-from-home sales in 2019. While full-service establishments have wait staff, in contrast, fast food restaurants use convenience as a selling point; they have no wait staff, menus tend to be limited, and dining amenities are relatively sparse. According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurants are the nation's second-largest private-sector employer, providing jobs for 1 in 10 Americans. Fast food chains are also the ones recovering faster from the consequences of the economic shutdown. Urban Tea, Inc. (NASDAQ: MYT), Darden Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: DRI), The Wendy's Company (NASDAQ: WEN), McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD), Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM)
According to a report by CNBC, using data from Bank of America credit and debit card holders, analysts calculated that on July 1st, the trailing seven-day average spend at large chain restaurants was down 4% compared with the year-ago period. At small restaurant chains and independents, spending fell 25%. "Small chains and independent eateries tend to be casual dining and fast-casual establishments, while large chain restaurants range from full service to fast food. The closure of dining rooms and the shift to social distancing has hit the casual dining and fast-casual segments harder," the data clarifies.
McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) announced earlier last month a global partnership with TerraCycle's circular packaging service, Loop, to test a new reusable cup model for hot beverages. The initiative, which will first be trialed in 2021 across select McDonald's restaurants in the UK, helps customers enjoy their favorite McDonald's hot drink in a reusable cup, while cutting down on packaging waste. The model marks significant progress toward innovative circular packaging solutions that help protect the planet for communities today, and in the future. "We're on a journey to rethink how we package products to give customers options that reduce waste, maintain the highest safety standards, and enhance the McDonald's experience they expect and enjoy. That's an innovation challenge, and it's one we think the Loop model has potential to help us solve," said Jenny McColloch, Vice President, Global Sustainability, McDonald's Corporation. "Our commitment to communities is one of our core values as a company, and this pilot will generate important local insights and lessons to share along the way. We're excited to assess how new reusable packaging models could work within our system as we accelerate circular packaging solutions with our partners around the globe."

Vail Resorts and PepsiCo Plan to Reduce F&B Packaging Waste

image.png BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Vail Resorts and PepsiCo announced an expansion of their longstanding partnership to 18 additional Vail Resorts locations across North America, including Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia, Mount Snow in Vermont, and Hunter Mountain in New York. In addition to renewing and expanding their product distribution partnership to now 33 total resorts globally, PepsiCo committed to a significant investment annually in projects that support Commitment to Zero, Vail Resorts’ sustainability pledge to achieve a zero net operating footprint by 2030, including zero waste to landfill. Through a multi-year sustainability roadmap, the companies will focus on waste reduction, including reducing beverage and food packaging waste and replacing wax-lined paper cups with compostable or durable PepsiCo products. Vail Resorts and PepsiCo have already begun this work at select resorts. At the end of the 2018/19 ski season, the companies shared that more than 250,000 wax-lined paper cups (or 7,750 pounds of waste) had been saved from landfill as a result of this switch at multiple on-mountain restaurants. PepsiCo has its own target to make 100 percent of its product packaging recyclable, compostable, or biodegradable by 2025. “It is by working together, through robust partnerships with shared sustainability goals, that we’ll have the most impact on climate change,” said Kate Wilson, senior director of sustainability at Vail Resorts. “No one company can do it alone, and expanding our partnership with PepsiCo will allow us to make major progress toward reaching our most challenging Commitment to Zero pillar—zero waste to landfill. Our team is excited about the innovative solutions ahead as well as what we’ve accomplished with PepsiCo so far, which has contributed greatly to the progress we’ve made toward achieving our Commitment to Zero goal.” “We can make a tremendous impact at scale through high-volume consumer touchpoints like resorts and sports & entertainment venues,” said Scott Finlow, chief marketing officer, PepsiCo Foodservice. “It’s rewarding to team up with like-minded partners like Vail Resorts to co-create sustainability initiatives that address short-term business requirements while working to reach longer-term ambitions.” In addition to waste diversion efforts, PepsiCo also will support Vail Resorts’ sustainability commitments through guest-facing education initiatives, joint marketing efforts, and creative upcycling projects. This season, Vail Resorts and PepsiCo will partner with international recycling leader TerraCycle to create picnic tables and Adirondack chairs out of recycled snack and candy wrappers for guests at Park City, Keystone, Beaver Creek, Vail, and Breckenridge resorts. The companies also are partnering with Fuse Marketing and Snow Park Technologies to develop a terrain park feature at Breckenridge made partially of recycled plastic and snack and candy wrapper material. The renewed partnership between the companies also will add PepsiCo beverages for Vail Resorts’ guests in-resort at many of the newly added properties, including bubly, LIFEWTR, and Gatorade. The 18 resorts included in the expanded partnership include Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia; Mount Snow in Vermont; Hunter Mountain in New York; Attitash, Wildcat and Crotched Mountain in New Hampshire; Liberty, Roundtop, Whitetail, Jack Frost and Big Boulder in Pennsylvania; Alpine Valley, Boston Mills, Brandywine and Mad River in Ohio; Hidden Valley and Snow Creek in Missouri; and Paoli Peaks in Indiana.
