Toast Inc., the all-in-one digital platform serving over 156,000 restaurant locations, has released its latest Restaurant Trends Report, offering a snapshot of shifting dining behaviors in the U.S. restaurant industry. The Q3 2025 analysis reveals that in-person dining remains dominant, but notable changes are underway. Reservations at full-service restaurants increased 8% year-over-year, while cancellations also rose by 7%. Notably, solo dining is on the rise, with single-diner reservations spiking by 22% compared to the previous year, although these still represent less than 1% of total bookings. Tuesdays have emerged as the fastest-growing night for reservations, up 15% year-over-year, and early breakfast and afternoon slots are seeing higher demand. No-show rates slightly decreased, and the average tip for full-service restaurants edged up to 19.2%. The report highlights the evolving preferences of diners and the need for restaurants to adapt to new patterns in reservation and tipping behavior.
