Find out in our latest report...

In a climate where many casual dining restaurants are struggling or have even disappeared altogether it’s imperative for brands to form an emotional connection with customers.

For a 7% increase in brand love, there’s an extra visit per customer

Savanta’s new report The Top 100 Most Loved Eating Out Brands 2019 reveals a firm link between brand love and commercial success – but what are the secrets to building brand affinity?

The research shows that many factors are at play and, of course, it depends on the type of dining establishment. However, some clear threads run through the success of the most-loved dining brands.

The drivers of brand love are quite different from other, more familiar, KPIs such as Net Promoter Score which tends to measure more rational factors such as the deliciousness of the food and freshness of ingredients.

Love is more emotionally charged and relates to a customer’s experience. Brands wanting to win customers’ hearts should consider experiential factors such as friendliness of staff and the speed and quality of service.
