As the dining landscape evolves, one theme has emerged prominently in recent months: patrons are actively searching for value during their dining experiences.
According to Yelp, a leading online review platform with a vast restaurant database, its data reveals that almost half of its reviews pertain to dining establishments.
In the first quarter of this year, the interest in budget-friendly meals surged significantly.
Yelp reported a remarkable 21 percent increase in searches for ‘cheap eats,’ while queries for ‘value meal’ rose by 22 percent.
Even more striking, the search for ‘meal deal’ skyrocketed by an astounding 117 percent compared to the same period in the previous year, based on insights from Nation’s Restaurant News.
