Restaurant visitors on the move: loss of customers and switch to fast food restaurants due to the VAT increase

Over six months ago, the VAT for on-site consumed food in the hospitality industry was raised back to 19%. However, the discussion about price increases in the out-of-home market has been ongoing for much longer due to various cost increases, making the VAT hike just the tip of the iceberg.
Many consumers have been angered by the steep price increases, but there was also criticism from restaurateurs regarding the VAT hike decision.

A brand new promotion-free world: Learnings from a price promotion ban

Price promotions are often seen as a “necessary evil”: while their costly practice may generate short-term sales spikes, their long-term effectiveness has long been scrutizined. However, brand manufacturers are reluctant to unilaterally abandon price promotions, out of fear for competitive repercussions. As such, a retailing world without price promotions long remained an improbable yet intriguing proposition.

In this study, we exploit a formal ban on price promotions that encompassed an entire retail market, to investigate if all brands truly stand to gain from a world devoid of price promotions.
Our analyses reveal that, while the average brand stands to gain from abandoning promotions, brands typically boosting deep discounts are worse off, while brands with a larger assortment gain more. Surprisingly, private label brands are worse off than their national brand competitors when promotions are absent.
