Hospitality authors Robert Lewis and Richard Chambers observe that::Foodservice convenience store owes a good part of its growth to the raising of food prices in fast-food restaurants.Even supermarket business increased because of the raising of restaurant prices.Consumers traded down and until many,and not just at the lowest level,decided to stay home and eat.Many who preferred higher-quality restaurants maintained that quality level by eating better at home.
In economics,this phenomenon is known as elasticity of demand—the response by customers to changes in price.In the Lewis and Chambers example,restaurants have been seedily increasing their prices.Some consumers have responded by refusing to pay the higher prices,turning instead to other alternatives,such as convenience store food or preparing food at home.
《Hospitality》的作者罗伯特 里维斯和理查德 詹姆波斯观察后指出:由于快餐店的价格涨价让食品便利店大赚了一笔,即使饭店的涨价行为也使得商店的价格有所调高.饭店的消费者数量会持续减少,因为他们会选择在家里进餐.这个减少的数目会到达不可收拾的数量,而不是什么最低水平.许多偏爱高质量的消费者会在自家用餐中仍享受这样的高水准.
用经济学眼光看,这种现象就是众所周知的“需求弹性”--消费者对价格改变的反应.以里维斯和詹姆波斯的经历来看,饭店涨价措施是极为拙劣和不理智的.一些消费者对此的反应就是拒绝为更高的价格掏钞票,而是寻找其他的替代品,比如便利店或者在家进餐.
