Every time consumers choose to eat or drink away from home, there’s a reason driving that decision—and understanding those motivations is key to capturing growth. From a quick snack on the go to a sit-down dinner with friends, each occasion comes with its own unique attributes, expectations, and spending patterns.

To uncover these dynamics, IFM The Food Away from Home Association partnered with Datassential to survey over 1,500 consumers in August 2025. The result is a powerful new report that sizes more than 20 distinct eating and drinking occasions by generational cohort, with insights on average check sizes, group sizes, location types, and more.

Packed with actionable data, this report equips foodservice manufacturers, operators, distributors, and service providers with the insights needed to identify opportunities, sharpen strategies, and win with today’s consumers.
