Restaurants and Cafés Sell Less but Still Raise Prices
For the first time in years, the volume of sales in the hospitality sector is declining. However, revenue increased, which was entirely due to price hikes. According to ING, further price increases are expected this year, averaging around 4%. The report highlights that despite fewer sales, restaurants and cafés have managed to boost their turnover by raising prices. This trend is notable as it marks a shift from previous years, with ING forecasting continued price growth in 2026.
