Across Canada, 91% of restaurants agree they play an important role in their local economy.\u00b3 Additionally, 50% of Canadians spend money at neighbouring businesses before or after dining out, rising to 61% among millennials and 65% among Gen Z.\u00b2<\/p>\n<p>Restaurants also create opportunities within their communities. Half (50%) of restaurant workers say their restaurant hires young people without formal qualifications, 37% employ people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, and 32% employ refugees or recently arrived migrants.\u00b3<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Restaurants Drive Community and Personal Wellbeing<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Restaurants offer Canadians more than a meal, giving them a place to celebrate, connect and feel part of their community. Eighty-nine percent of diners agree that local restaurants, pubs and caf\u00e9s help build a sense of community, while 58% say they are likely to book a meal out to feel better or reconnect with people when feeling stressed or low.\u00b2<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldhappiness.report\/ed\/2025\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><u>The 2025 World Happiness Report <\/u><\/a>found that sharing meals is strongly associated with greater life satisfaction and more positive emotions. In fact, the frequency of shared meals was as useful an indicator of well-being as income and employment status,\u201d <strong>said Dr. Gillian Mandich, Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba.<\/strong> \u201cChoosing a restaurant and looking forward to it can generate anticipation, while remembering it afterward extends the enjoyment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Hospitality Works Both Ways<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>For restaurants, every reservation informs decisions behind the scenes, from staffing and food preparation to whether another diner can take the table. Yet while 71% of Canadians understand that failing to show up for a reservation can have a significant impact on a restaurant\u2019s business, 20% of diners say they have no-showed at least once in the past year, rising to 43% among Gen Z.\u00b2<\/p>\n<p>On average, Canadian restaurant operators say a no-show table for two costs restaurants $91,\u00b3 while diners estimate a lower cost of $75.90.<strong>\u00b2<\/strong> The difference reflects the impact restaurants see firsthand, from wasted food and overstaffed shifts to other guests who could have filled the table. Nearly half (45%) of diners say that understanding the true financial impact would make them more likely to attend or cancel their booking.\u00b2 The great news is that Canadian diners are stepping up, with overall no-show rates down 4% year-over-year\u2074 and 47% said they have never failed to cancel a reservation.\u00b2<\/p>\n<p>OpenTable is working to make the relationship between diner and restaurant even easier to navigate. Diners can quickly modify or cancel reservations when plans change and even direct message restaurants within the app. Restaurants can use tools including deposits and credit card holds, prepaid Experiences, automated confirmations and reminders, online waitlists and Notify Me to manage demand and minimize no-shows.<\/p>\n<p>For diners, supporting restaurants can be as simple as showing up or cancelling as soon as plans change. Because when a table is filled, the impact extends far beyond the restaurant, helping the people, businesses and neighbourhoods around it thrive.<\/p>\n<p>The full Canadian OpenTable Restaurant Impact Report is available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opentable.ca\/restaurant-solutions\/en\/research\/restaurant-impact-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><u>here<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Methodologies: <\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>\n        <strong>\u00b9 OpenTable CA Data: <\/strong>OpenTable looked at seated diners and average spend per person from online reservations for same store restaurants on the OpenTable platform in Canada from 1 July 2025 &#8211; 30 June 2026 and compared it to the same time period in 2024\/2025 (2 July 2024 &#8211; 1 July 2025).<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>\u00b2 Diner Consumer Research:<\/strong> An online survey was conducted by Ripple Research among 1503 CA general consumers who dine out, with a quota of 200 for major cities.
