In 2021, Peter Piper saw off-premise sakes skyrocket with demand for its made-from-scratch pizza and menu items. These Peter Piper Express concept locations complement Peter Piper Pizza's popular full-service offering and they will be about 15% the size of a traditional Peter Piper restaurant, which is significant for reducing operational costs. The full menus offered at the new Peter Piper Express locations are made possible thanks to a full-size kitchen equipped with a custom Roto-Flex pizza oven that has the capacity to produce more than 200 pizzas per hour. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Small-scale Pizzerias:** The rise of small-scale pizzerias offers opportunities for innovation in compact kitchen equipment, space optimization, and cost-efficient operational models. - **Convenience-focused Dining:** The trend towards convenience-focused dining presents an opportunity for innovation in mobile ordering, delivery, and pickup options, as well as optimized store layouts. - **Off-premise Sales:** The increase in off-premise sales offers innovation opportunities in menu optimization, packaging solutions, and delivery logistics. ### Where This Applies - **Quick Service Restaurants:** QSRs can benefit from innovative solutions that enable more convenience-focused and cost-efficient operations in small-scale settings. - **Foodservice Equipment:** The rise of small-scale pizzerias and convenience-focused dining creates demand for innovative kitchen equipment solutions that optimize space and efficiency. - **Food Delivery Services:** The trend towards off-premise sales presents an opportunity for food delivery services to improve logistics, packaging solutions, and delivery speed to meet consumer demands. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Budget-Minded Pizzeria Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peter-piper-pizza-family-deals.md) - [Stacked Double Decker Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/double-up.md) - [Pizzeria Loyalty Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piper-points.md) - [Virtual Pizza Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pizza-piatta.md) - [Automated Pizza Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piestro-pod.md) - [Spicy Meatball Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatball-pizzas.md) - [Speedy QSR Pizza Drive-Thrus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-hut-lane.md) - [Cost-Effective Pizza Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godfathers-pizza-to-go-program.md) - [Digitally Focused Prototype Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prototype-restaurants.md)
