New Report takes a deep dive into the state of food halls in 2023

GoTab is all in on the food hall category, with one-of-a-kind features that were uniquely developed for the unique challenges of owners/operators, landlords and their licensees. Our tech is featured prominently, with quotes from GoTab’s CEO, Tim McLaughlin. More importantly, the report provides deep analysis of the trends driving food hall uptake, as well as the key elements of those food halls that are finding success.

With breweries and restaurants continuing to face labor challenges, food halls are able to keep costs down, increase revenue, and provide a new “third place”; i.e., cultural/ social hub for consumers seeking places where they can renew social connections.

Food halls enjoy a lower failure rate than standalone restaurants with advantages including:
Reduced labor costs – food halls, by design, can be operated with minimal staff
Reduced waste – with condensed menu offerings and more carefully curated food types and ingredients Geographic
Optimization – leverage the opportunities to revamp established formats and locations to provide broad appeal
Spaces – respond to demographic shifts and desires to reconnect in more dynamic social settings
