Wednesday is the new Friday

Data collected between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30 of this year showed an 11% increase in diners going out to eat on Wednesday nights, the largest increase of any other day. 

Looking ahead to 2025, 43% of people said they planned to dine out on Wednesday if they planned on going out to eat during the week. 

The reason: to break up the week. 

The more, the merrier

Another trend that’s gaining popularity for diners are big groups. 

Parties of six or more people going out to eat increased 8%, according to OpenTable. 

Fifty-five percent of consumers said they planned to dine out with a big group over the holidays and 43% said they planned to do it more frequently next year. 

Dining experiences and tasting menus

More and more diners are opting to experience tasting menus, cooking classes and Omakase options. 

OpenTable’s Experience bookings increased 27% and 42% of Americans said they are more interested in experiential dining in 2025 compared to last year. 

"We're seeing a new age of dining out that is more adventurous than years past, evidenced by diners embracing midweek dining, dining solo or with large groups, or upping the ante with a dining experience," said Debby Soo, CEO of OpenTable. "And with more than half of diners planning to dine out more in 2025 than 2024, this is great news for restaurants all around."
