My Arby’s only offers one flavor of shake while others offer a better choice.” “Arby's prices have gotten too high to be able to afford for a family of four without coupons. Orders are rarely right whether they are busy or not, it is disappointing especially when you only order a few items for two people. They need to better label Cherry and Apple turnovers, I get tired of ordering one, checking the receipt and when I get home finding out that at least one of them if wrong!!” “Offer regular fries. The curly fries are rarely done well - always over or under cooked making them soggy or too crunchy.” “Arby's seems to have a policy of only hiring minorities, and this often leads to a somewhat annoying language barrier. The food, while quite good, is not always worth the money. No single fast food sandwich should be 4 dollars.” “I would like to see faster service... that is, the time it takes for me to get my order should be at a minimum.” “Working with their employees on customer service. The last couple times I have been to Arby’s, the employees are more focused on talking to each other than customer service.” “Bring back the Homestyle fries, not everyone likes curly fries and a potato cake is not appealing to me. Used to think the Homestyle fries were actually one of the better fries offered at a fast food restaurant, then one day they were just no longer available so I no longer order any side.” Source: Datassential Consumer Insights 49 UNMET NEEDS Consumer Whitespace select verbatims “Offer a better value. Improve portion sizes or lower prices. For example a 5 piece onion ring costs 2.99. That's 60 cents for a single onion ring. Too expensive and too small portions.” “I would like to see their prices lower. Their prices are very high, and not especially worth it for what you get.” “Keeping up the quality of their food, but getting the cost a little lower especially for just a sandwich.” “I wish they had a wider variety of sandwiches. I really do not care for the curly fries either. Change the fries would be good for me but that is my preference. Arby’s needs a wider variety of sandwiches to chose from and different fries.” “Price. Arby's is a little pricey. But you do get what you pay for very good food. They should have more deals.” “Bring back some of the great special sandwiches they had like the mushroom one and the brisket bbq one.” “Lower prices. they are way overpriced and usually go some other place because of it. All Arby’s are not the same. some have good tasting juicy beef while others like the one local to me always taste dried out and old. the beverages are flat a lot of the time. they don't know how to hook up their fountain drinks right as they all have a bad taste to them at our local Arby's.” Source: Datassential Consumer Insights 50 UNMET NEEDS Consumer Whitespace select verbatims “The employees are mostly teens who don't care if you're there and they are often not very friendly, the sandwiches are good but look like someone sat on them before it got to me.” “Last time I was there I was upset because I had to wait forever for 2 Jr Roast beefs. The car ahead of me ordered a huge sack full of food and it took sooooo looooonnnngggg. I wish they would do like other places do and have the car pull up and walk their order out instead of having me wait so long behind them. Numerous times I almost just left the line.” “Better presentation. MY sandwich was a pile of mess. It literally looked like it was thrown together as quick as possible, by someone with their hands tied and eyes closed. HOWEVER, it was DELICIOUS!!!!! And we love the 2 for $5 deal. The curly fries are always good. But the presentation is ALWAYS terrible.” “I would really like it if that had normal fries you can see then on the website but no Arby's I know carries then they have seasons friend. I would eat there more often if they had normal fries available.” “Arby's is a favorite 'take home' meal for us because you don't have to worry about them cooling off. I love the sandwiches for travel and will buy them ahead to take with us. Also for lunches that I have to eat at work. So for me they hit all the points that are important to me. Better prices would be the only area that I would like improved. Value menus are extremely important in today's economy.” “The prices are very unaffordable. T wo people for lunch cost $18 last time I went. No way I can afford this very often. Took a long time to get our food.” “The decor is tired and boring. Some stores are somewhat outdated and a bit on the dark side.” Source: Datassential Consumer Insights 51 WE KNOW FOOD DATASSENTIAL is your best source for food industry insights – from the latest menu trends to the products shoppers want at the grocery store. for more information, contact DAVE JENKINS at 847-903-5744 or dave@datassential.com DATASSENTIAL PROGRAM RESEARCH BrandFingerprints Restaurant brand metrics that truly drive consumer behavior Every restaurant chain has a unique fingerprint – a set of factors that determine who its customers are and why they visit.
