The Partner Post: June 2026

 

A quick look at what’s new and trending in hospitality.

Patio season is here, and so is the opportunity to close more deals. 


In this issue of The Partner Post, we are sharing updates, tools, and insights to help you sell more and support your customers with confidence.

Foodservice is shifting. Here's what to watch:

How demand is shifting across segments

  • Full-service restaurants are leading growth

  • Quick-service growth is slowing, with real sales declining

  • Caterers remain steady

  • Bars and drinking places continue to decline

What this means for your customers

Growth isn’t disappearing, it’s shifting. Higher-income customers are still spending, particularly in full-service environments, while others are scaling back. That shift is changing where demand is strongest and where opportunities are emerging (Restaurants Canada Q4 2026 report).

Where pressure is building

  • Customers are dining out less often

  • Customers are choosing lower-priced items or skipping extras

  • Value-driven offers and bundles matter more

How buying behaviour is changing

Customers are more selective, and decisions take more consideration. Operators are still investing, but only when solutions feel simple, flexible, and low risk (Restaurants Canada Q4 2026 report).


That is where financing becomes critical to keep deals moving.
