**Out-of-Home Dining Holds Steady in First Five Months of 2025**
Dining trends across the United States have largely remained stable in early 2025, according to a recent report from Placer.ai. While most regions experienced slight declines in dining visits—typically under 2.0%—some areas in the Midwest and South saw sharper decreases. Conversely, several Western states demonstrated moderate strength in dining activity.
Placer.ai’s latest white paper, *Out-Of-Home Dining in 2025: Performance & Consumer Trends*, highlights that growth in the fine dining and coffee shop segments is being driven primarily by new location openings, rather than increased foot traffic at existing establishments. Interestingly, while total visits to these segments rose, visits per location actually declined.
The report offers insight into how different segments of the dining industry are performing and explores shifting patterns in consumer behavior. It provides valuable context to help industry professionals understand which dining categories are thriving and how consumer habits are evolving in 2025.
