Few things are as American as ordering a burger and fries at a quick-service restaurant (QSR). This month, we are using recent Harris Poll survey data to take a deeper dive into this classic American staple. We aim to provide brands with the in-depth insights they need to better target and sell to their key customer demographic.
The snapshot examines Americans’ QSR preferences and ordering habits – looking at how limited-time offers and healthy menu options impact frequent QSR diners’ buying behavior. We close with an over-index report, showing which restaurants resonate with each gender. Did your favorite make the list?
