Millennials have inspired a lot of changes in the restaurant industry, including the time that they&rsquo;re looking to eat. No longer are meals limited to the traditional breakfast, lunch and dinner&mdash;snacking at all hours of the day has become commonplace. And according to Taco Bell, who created the &ldquo;Fourth Meal&rdquo; back in 2005, the need for additional dayparts is due in part to a lack of industry growth.

Lynn Hemans, senior director of business and social intelligence at Taco Bell, told QSR Magazine, &ldquo;Clearly, our industry has not been organically growing. To grow, you need to steal share by looking at outlets of growth that haven&rsquo;t been focused on.&quot;

By offering consumers meal and snack options specifically designed for brunch, late night or any time in between, they&rsquo;re diversifying their revenue streams. And that type of flexibility in meal times is what millennials are looking for.

&ldquo;Millennials want to set their own hours, so their eating and drinking habits tend to blur traditional dayparts,&rdquo; said Daria Makhoukova, group director of strategy and planning for foodservice at the Coca-Cola Company. &ldquo;One way operators could drive incremental sales is by offering two-item snack and beverage bundles. They should be sure to offer snack-sized portions in the mid-afternoon&hellip; but also during mid-morning and late-night.&rdquo;
