The restaurant world has thrown us some curveballs this year. From rising costs to shifting guest habits, 2025 has been anything but boring. As we moved into the second half of the year, it was the perfect time to pause, catch our breath, and figure out what’s really working.
Restaurant365 and industry experts broke down the biggest trends of 2025 so far and explored what restaurant operators have been focusing on and investing in for the rest of the year.
This session was grounded in Restaurant365’s 2025 Midyear State of the Industry Survey, drawing on insights from over 5,000 restaurant locations across the country. From food and labor cost trends to tech adoption and operational strategy, it covered the insights that matter most for both back-of-house and front-of-house success.
Restaurant365 brings together accounting, operations, scheduling, and more in a flexible platform—empowering restaurants to choose the solutions they need and scale with confidence.
