Growing Demand For Fast Food In The Germany HRI Market
Owing to hectic lifestyles, German consumers prefer to dine out more often. For instance, at breakfast time, teatime, or late in the night. Furthermore, fast food outlets are at an advantage, as compared to full-service restaurants, as the time taken for the preparation of food is less, along with affordability. Furthermore, major players, like KFC, McDonald's, and Burger King, are witnessing rapid growth, as compared to independent players.
