Although the SPITZ concept was engineered to appeal to consumers of all ages, where the menu and decor are most relevant is to the Millennial and Gen Zs. To understand why this is so important, you only need to examine those generation’s pursuits and purchasing power. YPulse, the world leader in youth consumer insight, claims that in 2020 Millennials and Gen Z teens have the incredible spending power of nearly $3 Trillion. YPulse also reports that the 73 million U.S. Millennials spend as much as 71% of their monthly expenditures on dining out and take out purchases. Also important to our brand and menu engineering is Nielsen’s 2017 study which found that Millennials purchase foods that harbor a strong social purpose and include multicultural flavors.
