  • Gen Z Isn’t Drinking and Restaurants Are Cashing In

    Gen Z Isn’t Drinking and Restaurants Are Cashing In
    Feb 18 2026

    Gen Z is drinking less, but restaurants are not losing money. In fact, many are making more. In part two of our Restaurant Trends to Watch in 2026 series, we break down the sober-curious movement, the rise of low and no alcohol beverages, and why mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks are becoming one of the most profitable menu categories in hospitality.

    Alcohol consumption in the U.S. is at its lowest level in decades, especially among younger guests. But smart restaurants are pivoting fast by creating intentional mocktail programs, premium non-alcoholic beer offerings, kombuchas, and botanical-forward drinks that feel just as elevated as cocktails.

    THESE are the Dumbest Complaints I've Ever Seen
    Feb 9 2026

    Restaurant guests who don’t read the menu and blame the server are a common occurrence. As servers we absorb confusion over wine, cocktails, and food. In this episode of The Modern Waiter Podcast, we dive into the dumbest, funniest, and most unbelievable complaints we’ve ever heard as longtime servers. We discuss when it’s okay to ask questions vs. when you’re just being difficult. Humor, cringe, and real talk from the server’s side of the table.
