Charlotte, NC. (October 9, 2018) – Thirty-one percent of diners said they would avoid eating at other locations of a chain restaurant if just one location was involved in a foodborne illness outbreak. That result is just one of the eye-opening results found in the Diners Dish e-book, available today from Steritech, the premier provider of food safety and service excellence assessments for the restaurant industry.
The Diners Dish E-book includes exclusive insights from a survey which tackled consumer preference and behavior in several key revenue-driving areas, including delivery, online reviews and social media, public health and cleanliness, and foodborne illness. Highlights from the E-book include:
60 percent of diners have ordered food for delivery in the last six months – and 30% of those have experienced a problem with their order
75 percent of consumers sometimes or often use restaurant review sites to help select where they will dine
41 percent of those surveyed say a restaurant’s health department score factors into their decision on where to dine
Sticky or dirty tables and chairs is the top pet peeve of diners
31 percent will stay away from an entire chain if just one location has a foodborne illness outbreak
These and the more than two dozen other facts found in the Diners Dish e-book can help restaurants adjust their operational practices to better meet their customers’ preferences.
