Case StudyRestaurant Industry

Uncovering the "Plant-Based Paradox" in Urban Food Deserts

A regional restaurant chain wanted to understand why their plant-based menu items were performing inconsistently across locations. Traditional market research provided conflicting signals.

The TrendSights Approach:

Grok Researcher Signal Discovery

Analyzed X conversations and Google Trends data to identify rising interest in plant-based options across all target markets, with similar search volume growth patterns.

ACS 5-Year Survey Data Integration

Overlaid Census ACS data on food access, transportation, and income at the census tract level, revealing that underperforming locations were in "food deserts" with limited grocery options.

The Insight Revealed

While online interest in plant-based options was consistent across regions, the practical ability to maintain plant-based diets at home varied dramatically based on grocery access. In food deserts, restaurant plant-based options became the primary access point rather than a complement to existing diets.

Business Outcomes:

  • Menu Optimization: Created location-specific plant-based offerings with different portion sizes and price points based on whether they served as meal supplements or primary meals
  • Marketing Strategy: Developed targeted messaging highlighting "everyday plant-based access" in food desert locations
  • Revenue Impact: 32% increase in plant-based menu item sales in previously underperforming locations
  • Expansion Planning: Identified 3 new high-potential locations in similar food deserts for targeted expansion

Why This Combination Works

  • Temporal + Spatial: Grok captures what's trending now; ACS adds the "where" and "why"

  • Signal + Context: Online trends show interest; demographic data reveals practical constraints

  • Intention + Reality: Bridges the gap between what people want and what they can access

  • Insight to Action: Translates complex data patterns into clear business decisions
