COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
High competition among non-standalone locations
Competition in non-standalone locations remained intense in 2025, with McDonald’s leading retail-based foodservice through brand strength, operational efficiency, and integrated digital channels, while Pestana dominated lodging-based dining by combining menu innovation and chef-led experiences. Additionally, Pingo Doce’s Comida Fresca format continued to gain relevance, driving up the number of outlets and capitalising on convenience-driven, ready-to-eat meal demand.
Independents lead share in standalone
Standalone locations are traditionally dominated by independent operators. However, leading limited-service restaurant chains, particularly McDonald’s, KFC and Burger King, are increasingly investing in standalone sites.
