Soft drink sales have slipped with changing consumer tastes and preferences in recent years, with the market going from $337.8 billion in 2020 to $178.8 billion today. The desire for healthier, less sugary alternatives have steered consumers away, and restaurants have felt this flux in consumer demand impacting their attachment rate of beverages.
What is beverage attachment rate? It's the percentage of customers who add a beverage alongside their meal or as a standalone item. A high rate indicates that your customers trust your business and enjoy your offerings enough to order more from the menu. Conversely, a low attachment rate signifies missed sales opportunities and a lack of appeal in beverage offerings.
We’re here to help! In expanding your beverage program offerings, beverage attachment rate increases simultaneously with soft drink sales, overall boosting annual revenue and customer satisfaction.
