Market Definition
Foodservice is defined as the sale of food and drinks for immediate consumption either on the premises from which they were bought, or in designated eating areas shared with other foodservice operators, or in the case of takeaways transactions, freshly prepared food for immediate consumption.
Datamonitor´s definition excludes sales through vending machines and is restricted to sales in specific foodservice channels (please see channel definitions below).
Various channels have been grouped together in what is called the """"Cost sector"""" - this sector is characterised by the fact that a subsidy is paid (either directly or indirectly) to one of the actors involved in the transaction, or where the final consumer pays for the food at its actual cost (as opposed to a price that adds some margin to its basic cost).
The cost sector includes the following channels - workplace locations, education locations, hospitals and welfare & services locations.
All sector values are given in Operator Buying Prices, that is the amount spent by foodservice operators on the food and drink that they serve and not the amount the consumers spend on food and drinks (Operator Selling Prices - OSPs) in these channels.
The difference is the mark up the foodservice operator adds in order to cover their other costs and generate a profit. This therefore values the sector in terms of the amount of money for which food and drinks manufacturers are competing.
Sector volumes are classed as the total number of visits by individuals to foodservice locations that involve the consumption of either food, or drink, or both. As such, if several people visit one location at once and there is only one bill (e.g. a group dining in a restaurant), the number of transactions is counted as being one for each person in the group.
Multiple purchases made during the same visit (e.g. a person buys several drinks bought over a period of time in a bar) are counted as one transaction. The purchase of drink with food in the same location in the same visit is also considered as one transaction, not two.
The sector is broken down in to four segments: Workplace; Education; Hospitals; and Welfare & Services.
