The restaurant and bar industry is navigating multiple challenges as of mid-October 2025, with technology integration and menu innovation taking center stage alongside operational pressures.

Network infrastructure has emerged as critical to restaurant success according to discussions at the Food Service Technology 2025 conference held this week. Industry experts emphasized that reliable internet connectivity now serves as the backbone for modern dining operations, supporting everything from mobile ordering to digital menu boards and voice services. Fusion Connect's Mitchell Keblusek noted that customers are quick to abandon establishments where digital ordering systems fail, highlighting how technology has become inseparable from hospitality.

Menu innovation continues driving consumer engagement heading into the Halloween season. Nothing Bundt Cakes unveiled a limited-time flavor featuring REESE'S and OREO collaboration this week, while Dunkin' launched its new Candy Bar Signature Latte alongside returning seasonal favorites like the Spider Donut. Crumbl's rotating menu through October 18 includes offerings like Pumpkin Square and a Caramel Shortbread Cookie featuring TWIX.

The expansion landscape shows mixed signals. First Watch recently achieved a milestone of 600 units and anticipates opening nearly 60 restaurants in 2025, significantly outpacing typical casual dining growth rates. Meanwhile, the iconic Nashville coffee shop Fido announced it will close in 2028, marking the end of an era for Hillsboro Village.

Supply chain concerns persist across the broader food service sector. CFOs surveyed this month indicated they expect tariff-fueled price pressures to continue into 2026, with price growth projected to be roughly 25 percent lower without tariff impacts. President Trump announced truck tariffs would take effect November 1, potentially affecting restaurant supply chains.

New concept openings remain robust despite economic headwinds. The Sicilian Butcher and Baker opened in Nashville on October 10, while Noôsh Persian Restaurant launched in Belle Meade the same day. Fort Worth saw Little Tavern reposition from its previous format, while The Mont introduced new seasonal fall menus and a dedicated patio dining experience.

Loyalty programs are evolving with CAVA rolling out an enhanced three-tier system featuring an industry-first Status Matching Program for existing members, reflecting heightened competition for customer retention.
