Research has shown that millennials are the pickiest diners in restaurants. They complain about the food twice as much as people over 55. But hey, who doesn’t want to eat something delicious?

That turns out to be exactly the problem. The older generation is used to tucking into their homemade dinner at home every night. In short: little variety and eating out as a festive exception.

Higher demands

Millennials, on the other hand, eat out much more often. Every summer, they can be found at several food truck festivals and even when they eat at home, there’s a good chance they regularly order something in. So it’s not that strange that they have higher demands when it comes to their food; after all, they’re also more accustomed to variety. For them, it’s a habit to compare all the options and always look for something new and better. So it’s hardly surprising that not everything always hits the spot.
