The fast-casual sector is dead, or maybe it isn’t

Does the fast-casual sector exist? In this week’s episode of a Deeper Dive I’m joined by my colleague Lisa Jennings to talk about the blurring of the lines in the restaurant industry—particularly between fast-casual and quick-service restaurants. The fast-casual sector represented a group of higher-end limited-service concepts and until the pandemic largely dominated industry growth over the past two decades. But since the pandemic, a lot more of these chains have added drive-thrus, such as Shake Shack, Sweetgreen and Chipotle. And a lot more quick-service chains like Chick-fil-A have raised their prices to match what is often seen at traditional fast-casuals. Add it all up and the two sectors look so much alike it makes sense to wonder whether we should do away with that differentiation altogether. Meanwhile, Lisa and I also talk about recent earnings results from McDonald’s and Chipotle. McDonald’s is gaining low-income diners. Chipotle is losing them. We wonder whether the two industry giants are trading them with one another.

The Ticking EMV Time Bomb

Fuel retailers who have not switched their fuel dispensers to accept chip cards by October will be liable for fraudulent purchases made at their sites. Even so, an industry survey conducted last year by standards group Conexxus suggests less than half of the industry will be ready in time. What does the liability shift mean for retailers who haven’t made the switch? Why is migrating to EMV so difficult, and what are the risks? Co-hosts Brett Dworski and Jackson Lewis discuss the liability shift today and looking forward on this episode of “At Your Convenience.”
