“Not all our customers want the same thing... yet we serve them the same menu.”
It’s a comment we often hear at Fyre, especially from marketing managers like Julie.
In a context of rising costs and intense competition, offering the right product to the right audience at the right time is no longer a luxury : it’s a necessity.
👉 That’s exactly what offer segmentation in foodservice allows: better understanding your customers to better adapt your menu, your messaging, your pricing… and your margins.
What Does It Mean to Segment Your Restaurant Offer?
Segmenting doesn’t mean reinventing everything.
It means organizing your offer based on :
Customer profiles (students, professionals, families, etc.)
Consumption moments (lunch break, afternoon snack, after-work drinks, etc.)
Sales channels (dine-in, takeaway, delivery)
Geographic areas (downtown, business districts, residential zones)
🎯 Goal : create a more targeted, seamless, and profitable experience.
3 Practical Ways to Segment Your Offer in Foodservice
1. Adapt the Offer to the Time of Day
With POS data, you can identify :
The most popular products at lunch vs. dinner
Low-traffic times to boost with targeted offers
Smart snacking opportunities between services
💡 Example : an express set menu at €11.90 between 12:00 and 1:15 PM, followed by a tighter menu + dessert in the afternoon.
2. Differentiate the Offer by Area or Location
Your locations don’t all serve the same clientele.
Segmenting also means :
Offering different menus or products depending on the neighborhood
Adjusting prices to local purchasing power
Creating offers based on local consumption habits
💡 Julie, for instance, launched an “afterwork” offer in Bordeaux, which wouldn’t make sense in Lille where customers tend to leave earlier.
3. Segment the Messaging and Highlighting
Same offer, different communication depending on the target.
With data, you can :
Highlight different products on Instagram, your menus, or storefront
Adapt the wording (e.g., “light menu” vs. “balanced menu”)
Create targeted email campaigns based on average basket size or visit frequency
What This Changes in Practice
Clearer understanding of your menu by customers
Fewer generic dishes, more high-performing products
Higher order rates and average spend
A more coherent, more modern brand image
🎯 And for Julie, a stronger ability to justify her marketing decisions to the executive committee.
