Each year, Foursquare publishes the latest QSR Loyalty Index, revealing a ranked list of the top quick service restaurants in the United States based on their customers’ loyalty. Beyond analyzing loyalty, we set out to gain a better understanding of the state of the QSR industry at large, based on foot traffic data during the 12-month period starting July 1 2021 and ending June 30 2022.
Foursquare analyzed consumer behavior based on foot traffic data from millions of Americans that make up our always-on panel. For the purpose of this report, all data is aggregated and normalized against U.S. Census data to remove any age, gender and geographical bias.
