The way that people are dining is consistently changing. That means that franchise brands operating in the restaurant industry need to have a pulse on the latest trends to stay ahead of the curve and bring in customers. <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/outside-insights/5-trends-restaurants-can-t-afford-ignore-2018?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=qsr-magazine-5-trends-restaurants-cant-afford-to-ignore-in-2018-2705856" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">According to QSR Magazine</a>, there are five specific trends that can&rsquo;t be ignored this year.

One of the biggest things for restaurants to keep in mind is customization. Consumers are flocking to &ldquo;create your own&rdquo; concepts that allow them to have control over their order, which is helping brands like MOD Pizza, Saladworks and Odoba. Convenience is another thing that&rsquo;s playing a role in where consumers are choosing to eat, which means that brands should consider adding delivery and pickup to their lineups. Service is another trend that&rsquo;s helping brands boost their bottom lines&mdash;by training employees, restaurant concepts are differentiating themselves in the marketplace. Acquisitions and quality are also trends that shouldn&rsquo;t be overlooked.
