Dual-Purpose Dining

A desire for adaptability prompts the emergence of multipurpose cafes

Implications - While mealtime is often a chance to sit back and relax, consumers tight on time are looking for more function when it comes to their dining destinations. Eateries are thus integrating elements of exercise and daily chores into the dining space itself, speaking to a shift toward more pragmatic uses of time.
Trend Themes
1. Multipurpose Dining Spaces - Dining spaces are combining pragmatic uses of time by integrating elements of exercise and daily chores, allowing consumers to flexibly fit all activities in their limited time.
2. Hybrid Cafes - A combination of two services in a single venue, providing a new and unique experience.
3. Innovative Retail Concept Cafes - Combining a relaxing cafe experience with the convenience of shopping, creating a minimalist store design that caters to customers’ need for aesthetic, streamlined and holistic retail therapy.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food industry is using multipurpose dining spaces and hybrid cafes to cater to the needs of consumers who have limited time and increasingly diverse tastes.
2. Retail - Retail stores are adopting the innovative retail concept cafe model to create a unique shopping experience and attract new customers.
3. Entertainment - Hybrid cafes and pop-up ventures offer a new dimension of entertainment that gives consumers a range of services in one location.
