COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Outback Steakhouse leads and accelerates expansion under new ownership structure
Outback Steakhouse was the leading company in full-service restaurants in Brazil by foodservice value share in 2025. Industry sources continued positioning Brazil as one of the largest Outback markets outside the US by outlets and foodservice sales.
Coco Bambu outperforms through expansion in shopping centres and experience-led positioning
Coco Bambu was the most dynamic full-service restaurant company overall in 2025. The chain specialises in seafood and builds demand around generously portioned dishes intended for sharing, appealing to families and larger groups for both leisure and work occasions.
Independents remain dominant, while cuisine mix keeps other and pizza as the main pillars
Independent outlets dominated full-service restaurants in terms of value sales in 2025, with a 93% share. Despite this dominance, industry structure continued shifting gradually towards greater professionalisation and the pursuit of economies of scale through mergers and acquisitions, particularly across 2024 and 2025, supporting expectations of stronger chained presence during 2026-2030.

Full-Service Restaurants
FSR (full-service restaurants) encompasses all sit-down establishments where the focus is on food rather than on drink. FSR is characterized by table service and a relatively higher quality of food compared to quick-service units. Menus offer multiple selections and may include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Preparation of food products is often complex and involves multiple steps. NOTE: restaurants types catalogued in this segment refer to table-service only (outlets with a proper “full table service:” wait staff attending customers and taking orders at the tables). Outlets with “limited table service” are excluded from FSR. For example: outlets where customers order their food at the counter are excluded (even though the waiter will then bring the food at the table).
