Canada’s restaurant industry is under increased pressure, as more Canadians steer away from dining out. New data from Restaurants Canada says a majority of Canadians are making this decision in an effort to save their hard-earned money. To be more specific, 3-in-4 Canadians, according to the 2025 Foodservice Facts Report. And once we get to the Age 18-34 bracket, it’s a grim 81 percent. That means fewer people visiting restaurants, which equals a bottom-line that is tougher for some establishments to digest. Milena Stanoeva is the Senior Director of Public Affairs with Restaurants Canada. She joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
