The retail landscape for alcoholic beverages in Canada is undergoing significant transformation. Ontario has announced plans to allow convenience stores to sell beer, wine, spirits, and cider from 2026 onwards, with provinces such as British Columbia and Manitoba expected to follow suit within the next two years.
The rising trend of mindful drinking is expected to continue shaping the café and bar industry, particularly among younger demographics who are prioritising wellness and moderation. Consumers increasingly seek alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages, with mocktails, low-alcohol drinks, and functional beverages such as kombucha gaining widespread popularity.
In an era of increasingly fast-paced lifestyles, efficiency and convenience have become paramount for consumers, particularly in the coffee shop and bar industries. Operators are responding by integrating technology-driven solutions to expedite service and enhance customer experiences.

Cafés/Bars
This category encompasses all establishments where the focus is on drinking (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages). While a wide variety of snacks and full meals are offered, it is not uncommon for consumers to only order a drink. As a general rule, establishments deriving 50% of their income or more from the sale of drinks are included here.
