Evolving Payment Acceptance
Restaurants across Europe are operating under increasing economic pressure. Slower economic growth, rising costs and changing consumer behaviour are reshaping how people dine and how restaurants operate. In 2025, restaurant insolvencies increased significantly compared to pre-COVID levels, underlining the need for greater efficiency and resilience across the sector.
At the same time, new formats such as home delivery, QSR and lower-service dining are growing, placing payments at the centre of both customer experience and operational performance.
