- Material Costs—Lower prices for agricultural commodities, such as grain and oilseeds products, will limit material cost increases. The one exception is meat prices, which have risen sharply over the past year.
- Consumer Confidence—Rising consumer confidence suggests that consumers have become more optimistic about their finances. This could lead to more spending at restaurants.
- Labour Shortage—Labour shortages in certain regions of Canada have hindered the ability of restaurant operators to hire the workers they need. That affects day-to-day operations and increases the pressure to raise wages.
