Chain Restaurants

Key industry themes during COVID-19

  • Higher check growth given more family/group orders
  • Menu innovation put on hold for now, but still important for later in the year
  • Restaurants on a limited menu during COVID likely continue with it for the near term
  • Staffing is a big near-term challenge for operators
  • Stronger sales trends in the middle of the country vs. coasts
  • Breakfast daypart pressured given lack of commuter traffic

What are distributors doing?

  • Largest distributors following a similar playbook during COVID-19 around inventory reduction,

headcount/SG&A cost cuts, extended payment terms from suppliers, and selling into retail/grocery.

  • Distributor case growth declines bottomed in -50-60% range in late March/early April (magnitude varies

by segment). US Foods and PFG saw 50%+ Y/Y declines in total case growth during April.

  • Suppliers were seeing worse trends vs. distributor out-the-door sales due to inventory de-load in April.
  • Distributors look to be rebuilding inventory (following cuts in March/April) as restaurant demand is

starting to come back faster than expected.

  • Forecasting for suppliers has been difficult and sell-in and consumption have not matched. May volume

pop may moderate as inventory is right-sized.

  • Distributors need to have availability of product to win share.

What does recovery look like?

  • The current environment and variability across states makes it difficult to forecast the same-store sales
  • utlook for restaurants as the pace/timeline for recovery depends on:
  • Pace of states lifting shelter-in-place restrictions
  • Restaurant seating capacity limits
  • Consumer willingness to return to prior habits
  • Sustainability of off-premise/delivery sales
  • Development of a vaccine vs. another outbreak
  • We see 3 potential scenarios that may play out over the next 6 months: base, bull, bear
  • 1. Steady recovery through May and June as states reopen dining rooms with trends plateauing in 2H20
  • 2. Continued sequential recovery through the rest of 2020
  • 3. Choppy recovery due to continued capacity restrictions, recessionary pressures on the consumer, and risk for another outbreak

Dining Room Reopening Timeline

14

  • Pace of recovery depends on reopening and

capacity restraints

  • ~30 states have provided timeline and guidance

(many at 25% or 50% capacity, social distancing measures)

  • Restaurants removing or roping off tables and

adding social distancing markers

  • Dine-in restaurant profitability during a time of

limited capacity is a key watch-out

  • Our analysis suggests that most independent

restaurants are not profitable below 65-75% capacity (even with good off-premise business)

Chain Restaurants Post-COVID

Operational and store layout changes

  • Eliminating self-serve areas or converting to full-service/behind the counter (fountain, coffee,

buffets/salad bars, condiment stations)

  • Implementing more single-use items
  • Continuing to focus on limited contact service (curbside pick up, drive-thru)
  • Requiring restaurant staff to wear PPE and take temperature checks upon coming to work
  • Adding social distancing markers to space out guests
  • Adding hand sanitizer stations inside lobbies
  • Installing plexiglass around registers/drive-thrus
  • Quick-serve likely slow to reopen dining rooms/lobbies given off-premise strength/profitability

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Chain Restaurants Post-COVID

Menu changes

  • Reducing the number of menu items / SKUs
  • More focus on value proposition
  • Innovation still viewed as important to drive traffic/attention to the brand
  • More grab-and-go and single-serve items
  • Suppliers may see requests for value-add items or lower-cost solutions
  • Cost of doing business during COVID most commonly cited by operators as biggest challenge, followed by staffing

Chain Restaurants Post-COVID

Longer-term shifts to accommodate greater off-premise sales

  • COVID-19 will likely accelerate the shift towards off-premise dining occasions
  • Operators evaluating real estate needs long term – pick-up windows + drive-thrus
  • Dining room layouts will likely need to be reevaluated
  • Operators likely increase consumer-facing and back-of-house digital investments

Impact of COVID-19 across segments

23

  • Healthcare: Demand in frontline care for foodservice,

cleaning, and supplying PPE; overall holding up well given more patients offset by less visitors in hospitals.

  • Corrections: Relatively stable during this time.
  • Business & Industry: Office closures and remote working

reducing catering and overall volumes. Manufacturing and pharma sectors remain in operation.

  • Education: Significantly impacted by closures in K-12 and

C&U; some K-12 school districts still serving meals.

  • Leisure: Impacted by closures and restrictions in parks,

attractions, and conference centers.

  • Sports: Significantly impacted by suspension of sports

seasons and postponement of concerts/events.

  • Hospitality/Lodging: Severely impacted given shelter-in-

place orders and lack of business/personal travel.

Non-commercial Recovery

Outlook varies by segment

24

  • Healthcare: Segment likely quickest to recover;

states resuming elective surgeries.

  • Business & Industry: Recovery less clear as

employers likely bring people back to offices gradually and potentially move to smaller offices and more work from home long term.

  • Education: Recovery uncertain given timing of

schools and colleges reopening; concerns around enrollment at C&U.

  • Leisure/Travel: May see longer recovery vs other

segments given COVID-19/economic impact (business/personal travel resuming unclear).

  • Sports/Entertainment: May open slowly, unclear

how social distancing guidelines will be applied (plus consumer hesitancy around large groups).

Contract management plans to reopen facilities

  • Preparing to reopen facilities in the coming months (Aramark taking a phased approach).
  • Health/safety distancing measures
  • Less self-serve operations
  • More grab-and-go and prepackaged foods
  • Increased use of ordering ahead and digital ordering
  • Larger companies like Aramark, Sodexo, and Compass likely in a position to gain share given

scale and diversified portfolio.

  • COVID-19 may lead to accelerated shift from self-operation to outsourcing.

Future of Selling & Role of Sales Reps

27

  • Selling potentially looks different in the

post-COVID world

  • Digital skillset will be needed
  • Because of COVID, largest distributors

have cut sales force by ~10-15%+

  • Most local operators still prefer to be

called on in person by DSR

sales reps to still call on street customers wearing PPE; 30% anticipate doing more virtually

slide-28
SLIDE 28

With all the uncertainty, what will be consistent the next 6 months?

  • Quick-serve, restaurants with a strong off-premise business, and concepts that

appeal to families likely continue to outperform

  • Value will be a bigger component in consumer decision making going forward
  • The need for sales reps and relationships remain important; balance with digital
  • Restaurants likely maintain social distancing and food safety emphasis long term

Key Considerations for Manufacturers

29

Expect to see slimmer menus

Core menu focus near term Expect more value and LTO activity to win back guests New product development on hold Single-serve and grab-and-go increasingly important Off-premise will continue to outpace dine-in sales growth

Private label and lower-cost solutions likely to become more important for operators in a lower demand and tight labor environment  Invest in eCommerce tools, capabilities, and people

Digital will be a bigger role in selling going forward Have content online for operator research / ordering

As much as <30% of local restaurants and ~10-15% of chain doors may not reopen (worst-case)

Key Considerations for Distributors

30

 Best positioned distributors have a strong sales force, solid digital platform, and broader offering Sales model likely looks different given sales force reduction, local restaurant closures, and greater eCommerce sales

Still need balance between digital and sales reps

See further opportunity to increase private label penetration given:

1) Limited product availability (easier to switch operators) 2) Greater need for operators to lower costs

Selling into retail/grocery likely not a long-term strategy

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Key Considerations for Local Operators

Local restaurant operators seem hesitant to reopen dining rooms at 50% capacity due to profitability

  • concerns. Most believe they need 65-75% capacity and solid off-premise sales to reopen dining

rooms.

Chain restaurants seem to be willing to reopen at lower seating capacity (share opportunity).

Value is expected to be a bigger driver over the coming six months as restaurants battle to regain customers against a tougher economic backdrop. Off-premise sales likely continue to outpace dine-in sales even as dining rooms reopen. Menus likely remain smaller long term given greater off-premise sales, labor/execution concerns, and product availability (operators have been more efficient/profitable with smaller menus during COVID). Labor is expected to be a headwind for the next several months given unemployment benefits. There is concern that ~10-20% of restaurant customers may not return to prior habits for a year or more.
