More workers lunching at home

Observation:   More workers are getting away from the office over lunch hour, and dining at home.  That’s according to this recent post from Food Manufacturing (click to link).

Implications:   I appreciate the way this story outlined a problem (for foodservice manufacturers and restaurant operators), but then also suggested some ways to entice consumers back into the restaurant and retain those you’re already serving.  It’s important that we focus on the things we can control (service, quality, menu options), rather than those things we can’t.
