PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Challenging outlook for self-service cafeterias
Self-service cafeterias in Poland is expected to see modest growth in constant value terms (at 2024 prices) throughout the forecast period. This format has a strong tradition in the country and its relatively low menu prices will help sustain demand.
Shift towards technological solutions
Delivery services from self-service cafeterias currently represent a small share of sales but are expected to grow steadily over the forecast period. This shift will be driven by the increasing demand for convenience, time savings, and access to a diverse range of meals without the need for home cooking.
Focus on consumers looking to reduce meat intake
In Poland, the number of people looking to reduce or eliminate meat in their diet is expected to rise steadily, with both veganism and vegetarianism gaining traction. This shift could positively influence the self-service cafeteria segment, as these establishments already appeal to consumers with their extensive vegetarian options Their long-term success will depend on their ability to continue to adapt to evolving consumer preferences, particularly by expanding their plant-based offerings.

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)
