PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Self-service cafeterias are set to face challenges as outlet numbers decline
The forecast for self-service cafeterias is not positive, with foodservice value sales set to grow at a current value CAGR of just 1% (2024 constant value CAGR of -1%). In addition, the number of outlets is expected to fall at a CAGR of 1%.
Ongoing changes for Rosenberger motorway restaurants across the forecast period
The conversion of Rosenberger motorway restaurants into Rosehill Foodparks progressed more slowly in 2024 than initially planned. TQSR Group's Rosehill Foodpark is a multi-brand food court concept that offers a wide range of food at affordable prices with a high convenience factor, catering to customers taking a short break during their car journeys.
Landzeit and other highway restaurants are anticipated to struggle across the forecast period
While Rosenberger undergoes restructuring, the future viability of traditional highway restaurants in Austria is increasingly uncertain. Brands such as Landzeit and Marche highlight the freshness of their food and the quality of the often regional ingredients.

Self-Service Cafeterias
Self-service cafeterias are outlets where there is no (or limited) service content. Rather than table service, there are food-serving counters/stalls where customers take the food they require as they walk along, placing it on a tray. In addition, there are often stations where customers order food and wait while it is prepared, particularly for items such as hamburgers or tacos which must be served hot and can be prepared quickly. For some food and drink items, customers collect an empty container, pay at the check-out, and fill the container after check-out. Free second servings are often allowed under this system. For legal purposes (and the consumption patterns of customers), this system is rarely or never used for alcoholic beverages. Self-service cafeterias do not have a cover charge, customers are either charged a flat rate for admission (as in a buffet) or pay at the check-out for each item. Some cafeterias also charge by weight. Self-service cafeterias resemble contract catering self-service cafeterias such as canteens, dining halls and cafeterias located within institutions such as a large office building, school and universities. However, fully captive contract self-service cafeterias are excluded from consumer foodservice. Unlike fast food, self-service cafeterias feature a menu comprising full, regular meals, often with a large choice of first course, main course and desserts. As cafeterias can effectively serve large number of customers with comparatively few employees, they are often found within larger complexes, for example, department stores, shopping malls, travel foodservice (motorways stations, railway stations, airports). Self-service cafeteria examples include: Ciao (Autogrill), Flunch (Agapes Restauration SA), IKEA (Inter Ikea Systems BV)
