2021 DEVELOPMENTS

Performance of dominant bars/pubs continues to influence category


sales
Cafés/bars suffered significant declines across the channel in the first year of the pandemic,
particularly during the lockdown beginning at the end of March. The dominant category of
bars/pubs recorded the strongest declines which therefore impacted the overall channel’s
performance as prior to the pandemic, it had been recording impressive growth rates. This was
particularly true for chained outlets, with many of these establishments attempting to diversify
the experience that they offer to entice to younger consumers as they reach a legal drinking
age. As well as menu items, they started offering activities that appealed to the local population
including the broadcasting of popular sporting events, live music, and the airing of entertainment
events such as the Oscars. Such activities are geared to keeping consumers in these outlets for
longer, making it more likely that they will spend money.
Similarly, in 2021, the overall category results will be influenced by the performance of
bars/pubs. The category will see growth in 2021 as such outlets start to see fewer restrictions
and more demand. However, the rate of growth will be less than a third of the rate of decline in
the previous year, with the category still experiencing some of the most negative effects of the
pandemic. In most areas within the country, bars/pubs are unable to operate at full capacity or
normal hours. In addition, for those in tourist spots, including beach towns such as Cancun and
Los Cabos, limited tourism has made it difficult to continue operating. Even if bars were given
permission to reopen as restrictions were relaxed in certain areas, they struggled as they were
forced to operate at limited capacity. This limit varied city to city, with most restricted at 30%,
and some permitted up to 40% or 50%. They also had to contend with Mexican consumers’
ongoing caution with many remaining concerned about greater exposure to the virus if they
spent too long in public spaces. Such issues are causing bars/pubs to close outlets, with the
units/outlets number continuing to fall in 2021 for cafés/bars.

Brands strive to expand presence to build awareness


In 2021, brands continue to expand their presence across channels, from foodservice to
retailing and vice versa, to maximise their sales potential. It also helps build brand awareness

and, once consumers have become more familiar with their products, will encourage them to
return in-person to the coffee shops. Cielito Querido and Juan Valdez are two such brands that
have started increasing the number of offerings within retail settings. Juan Valdez previously left
the category in Mexico but is set to make a return in the coming years. Offering their products in
a retail setting will help them retain brand awareness until that time. Some beer and wine brands
are also trying to expand their channel reach, moving from retailing to consumer foodservice.
This will aid the recovery of the major bars/pubs channel in the forecast period.
As well as offering more coffee products within a retail setting, Juan Valdez and Nescafé are
expanding their offerings of coffee machines. Such offerings are becoming more prominent in
convenience stores as well as other retail locations, allowing consumers to make a coffee
beverage whilst doing their grocery shopping. This means that consumers no longer necessarily
need to visit a specialist coffee shop to drink their products. This concept is starting to compete
with the foodservice options already offered by the retail outlets and will further boost awareness
of these brands.

Starbucks grows share thanks to strong to-go options and exit of major
brands
Alsea will continue to strengthen its lead of cafés/bars in 2021 thanks to its ownership of
multinational chained specialist coffee shop Starbucks. This brand has managed to expand its
network in the pandemic by opening two new outlets at a time when many others were forced to
close theirs. For example, McDonald's closed most of its McCafé outlets with the view to closing
the remaining units permanently, citing an inability to compete with larger coffee brands.
Chained specialist coffee and tea shop brand Dunkin’, which is operated by various franchisees,
also announced that it was permanently closing its outlets in Mexico. Such exits are also
responsible for the boosted share of the leading players.
While specialist coffee shops and cafés were closed briefly during the initial stages of the
pandemic, those that traditionally rely on heavy office traffic in business areas remained closed
for longer. Many of these outlets noted a greater shift to delivery and takeaway, although
serving hot and frozen beverages has proven difficult via home delivery. Many cafés in smaller
cities have started to offer a drive-through option, but this has also proven to be more difficult in
crowded large cities. For some brands, demand for drive-through and delivery options was
sufficient to weather the storm.

PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Overall outlook for cafés/bars is positive but channel is unlikely to return


to pre-pandemic levels in terms of value sales until 2024, driven by
bars/pubs
The overall outlook for cafés/bars is relatively positive, with the channel anticipated to return
to pre-pandemic levels of value sales by 2023. With bars being some of the worst hit venues by
COVID-19 restrictions, many venues are likely to continue shifting towards serving food, at least
in the short term. This is because operating as restaurants will allow them to greater opportunity
to remain open should pandemic curbs be re-imposed. Bars are also likely to focus on creating
a unique range of cocktails that pair with specific food items and offering special limited-time
menus to attract consumers interested in novelty. Such offers also encourage greater spending,
particularly if Mexicans want to indulge following the home seclusion trend.
The trend of updating menu items, particularly beverages, is expected to accelerate in the
coming years as the pandemic recedes and consumers become more willing to visit new

CAFÉS/BARS IN MEXICO Passport 3

venues and try new offerings. New beverages are a great way for operators to market
themselves and to attract customers. The relatively new trend of mixing alcohol with coffee and
tea drinks is also set to rise. One such example is Izlah Tea’s partnership with Boodles Gin to
offer alcoholic tea beverages.

Postponed expansion plans likely to resume later into forecast period


Despite a more positive outlook for the channel, units/outlets is only likely to make a full pre-
pandemic recovery in 2025. The growth will nevertheless begin from 2022, with the strongest
growth year expected in 2023 as operators commence the expansion plans that were
postponed during the pandemic. For example, Starbucks has announced that it will imminently
return to its pre-COVID-19 pace of opening outlets. This is anticipated to coincide with the return
of travelling and commuting to work, as well as the resumption of regular hours and venue
capacities, aiding the overall recovery of the category. However, there are several brands that
are likely to stop operating in the short term due to the difficult economic and operating
conditions. Juan Valdez ceased foodservice operations in Mexico in 2018, although it has since
offered its products in retail venues. The brand has also found a new commercial partner and
plans to open around 50 outlets within the forecast period to establish itself within the Mexican
consumer foodservice landscape.
The Tim Hortons brand entered Mexico towards the end of the review period. It found success
through only using Mexican coffee from Chiapas in its outlets, thus meeting the local taste
preference of Mexican consumers. The brand delayed its plans to open more outlets in the
pandemic but plans to resume its expansion over the coming years to include other areas of the
country outside the Northern region. Many of these outlets are likely to be in the form of drive-
through and delivery only, with some offering 24-hour service. This is in line with the increasing
trend towards on-the-go and takeaway coffee trends and is likely to set the brand up for further
success.

Ongoing demand for home delivery likely to encourage innovative in-


house offerings in A bid to move away from mainstream delivery apps
Delivery apps have become increasingly important for specialist coffee shops, particularly in
terms of the difficult operating conditions and restrictions on eating-in. Home delivery poses
problems in terms of ensuring that both hot and cold items are delivery to customers at the
correct temperature, but players persevered with this option to extend their consumer reach - a
trend that is still likely to continue into the forecast period. Most independent cafés and specialist
coffee shops plan to offer their own delivery services or allow consumers to order directly from
their own websites, rather than via third party apps as the latter have begun to increase the cost
of their services. The trend of transferring some sales to packaged retail items such as coffee
beans is also likely to continue. Given the increasing shift towards more sustainable business
practices, many players are expected to source recycled packaging for takeaway or home
delivery products to continue to engage consumers and gain greater share within the channel.
Specialist coffee and tea shops have been the most active in following these initiatives given
that their core business requires many disposable supplies.
Delivery has been a difficult option for bars because the sale of alcoholic drinks is restricted
through home delivery apps. As bars/pubs have been unable to adapt as well as cafés or
specialist coffee shops to the online ordering trend, they will continue to struggle into the
forecast period. Whilst the dominant independent operators within the channel are set to recover
in the coming years, chained bars will record a marginally stronger performance in terms of
units/outlets, transaction, and value growth thanks to their greater collection of resources and
therefore adaptability.

CONSUMER FOODSERVICE IN
MEXICO - INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Consumer foodservice in 2021: The big picture


The lockdown and social distancing measures introduced by the government to control the
spread of COVID-19 had a strong negative impact on Mexican consumer foodservice. The most
impacted channels are bars/pubs (which rely on eat-in customers) and street stalls/kiosks.
Although sales via the latter channel are dominated by to-go options, the home seclusion trend
and the fact that many of these operators (mainly consisting of independents) are not set up to
offer home delivery meant that they struggled to adapt to changing consumer demands. Such
operators were also drastically impacted by reduced footfall through major business districts and
school areas where many of these outlets tend to be located, due to the remote working and
studying practices. Whilst the trend has started to reverse, the category continued to face
capacity limits for most of the year, hampering recovery. As such, even though consumers are
starting to spend more time out of the house and at consumer foodservice venues, this will not
be enough to propel the overall category back to pre-pandemic levels of value sales in 2021.

2021 key trends


Lower consumer purchasing power due to the economic effects of the pandemic will continue
to damage category sales in 2021. Consumers have become more selective with their
purchases, thus reducing the amount they spend on consumer foodservice. They are also more
price-sensitive, leading harder-hit consumers to trade down to less expensive consumer
foodservice options. As such, limited-service restaurants, which typically offer cheaper options,
are set to see a faster recovery than full-service restaurants. However, the entire industry will
face issues due to the increased cost of raw products such as poultry, egg, and meat. Players
must delicately balance budget-friendly offers with offsetting increased costs to ensure survival.
Location was also vital in determining players’ success in 2021. For example, consumer
foodservice outlets in major cities such as Cancun and Los Cabos (where international tourism
is particularly strong and traditionally contributes to a large proportion of the economy) were
unable to operate. Both dine-in restaurants and street stalls/kiosks serve as a tourism pull, with
this growth driver therefore halted due to restrictions on travel as a result. In addition, outlets
that located in business districts have performed poorly as they are usually reliant on high
footfall from office workers. Within consumers increasingly working from home and avoiding
busy town centres, such outlets welcomed far fewer customers. As such, operators had to adapt
by finding new strategies. For example, some started offering meal kit options. This provided
consumers with a more affordable option and allowed them to prepare and cook their favourite
dishes from home using restaurant-quality ingredients and clear, professional instructions. Many
areas of Mexico are therefore not expected to fully recover economically until tourism returns
return to greater levels of normalisation, harming the prospects of all types of consumer
foodservice categories.
In terms of operator strategies, two rising trends are dark kitchens and increased
digitalisation. In terms of the former, they are seeing increased presence not only within
independent brands, but also several chained brands. In fact, many of the largest operators (like
Alsea and CMR) are using dark kitchens to cook foods for various brands across kitchen

CAFÉS/BARS IN MEXICO Passport 13

locations. The Sushi Itto brand by Distribuidora de Alimentos is also seeing increased use of
dark kitchens to prepare menu items. In terms of digitalisation, even smaller independent
competitors have established online delivery services and started accepting digital payments.
Such progression has been necessary due to fear of transmitting the virus through handing over
cash and consumers being less willing to spend time outside the house. The trend towards
home-delivery and takeaway has been particularly prevalent in limited-service restaurants
despite the availability of dine-in services.

Competitive landscape
Consumer foodservice in Mexico is a highly fragmented competitive landscape dominated by
independent outlets, although it continues to be led by chained players FEMSA Comercio and
Alsea in value share terms. Established operators that were able to utilise delivery options more
easily were more likely to survive during this period. Nevertheless, Alsea and CMR were forced
to close a small number of non-profitable or struggling outlets to focus on more efficient and
profitable outlets. Chained operators in categories such as pizza limited-service restaurants,
chicken limited-service restaurants, and bakery limited-service restaurants will continue growing
in 2021 whilst others such as ice cream limited-service restaurants, Latin American full-service
restaurants, and North American full-service restaurants are set for a fast recovery in terms of
number of outlets.
Towards the end of the review period, partnerships with last-mile delivery services such as
Rappi, Uber Eats, and Cornershop had continued to expand amongst consumer foodservice
players. However, during the pandemic many players have found the fees they charge too high
and have started to explore alternative options. This includes the use of social media platforms
or message apps to communicate with customers, especially in terms of price promotions and
special deals. Many independent operators created their own websites or in-house delivery
offers. They also heeded the advice of the National Chamber of Restaurants and Seasoned
Food Industry (CANIRAC) which published its COVID-19 Prevention Protocol Mesa Segura
(Safe Table), which recommended best practices to ease consumers’ hygiene and health
concerns.

Independent foodservice developments


Independent operators were hit especially hard by the emergence of COVID-19 and its
subsequent lockdown and social distancing measures. Many were forced to close, although
some became more innovative and were able to diversify their products offerings by providing
grocery options in addition to their own prepared food options. However, many independent
outlets did not have the financial resources to continue operating at a reduced eat-in capacity
and were forced to adjust their business models or close. This has notably affected sites/outlets
numbers in the country.
Many independent consumer foodservice outlets were also at a disadvantage compared to
chained operators as they struggled to adapt to increasing demand for home delivery. Many do
not have their own delivery services and the fees charged by last-mile delivery platforms are
burdensome. Some outlets are therefore likely to look to move to locations or modify their
current restaurants to make them more conducive to takeaway and delivery. This may include
moving to a smaller location or rearranging furniture or a restaurant’s layout to favour a counter-
style ordering area and order prep stations over tables and seating. Nevertheless, a key trend in
2021 was the increased prevalence of digital payments in independent operators. The systems
Rappi, Mercado Pago and CoDi (a government created QR code payment system) have
allowed brands without large resources and POS terminals to accept QR based and online

© Euromonitor International
CAFÉS/BARS IN MEXICO Passport 14

payments. Previously many of these operators only accepted cash, so this is a major step
forward for independent operators.

What next for consumer foodservice?


Heading into the forecast period, reduced disposable incomes due to economic hardship will
lead to tougher decisions for local consumers in terms of how they spend their money. Many
consumers will likely choose cheaper options but are unlikely to cease purchasing from
consumer foodservice entirely. Home delivery will lose some of its share when compared with
the sales experienced in 2020 and 2021 but will remain higher for most channels than it was
pre-pandemic. Meanwhile, drive-through will continue to gain in popularity as an option within
cafés/bars and limited-service restaurants. Similarly, eat-in will regain share as consumers
gradually regain their confidence in visiting and dining at such venues. Nevertheless, it will
struggle to recover to pre-pandemic levels as Mexicans have been exposed to a greater choice
of options, which offer them greater flexibility.
A full value share recovery for consumer foodservice is expected between 2022 and 2023 for
most categories, although chained restaurants are likely to see a faster recovery than
independent operators due to their greater resources and adaptability. Chains are anticipated to
offer constant innovation in new products, specifically redesigning the menus to limit consumer
prices whilst also limited their own costs (due to the increase of raw products prices). Expansion
plans and the opening of new restaurants is likely to be done with caution, with such outlets
anticipated to be designed to include open spaces wherever possible. This is because health
and hygiene concerns will linger post-pandemic and venues will need to offer comfort and safety
to encourage consumers to return to their outlets. A further boost is likely to appear at the latter
end of the forecast period when the return of international tourism leads to greater footfall and
greater demand for consumer foodservice.
