SAN
FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The mother
of all dining days is upon us: Mother's Day was the biggest dining
day of 2023 and the Saturday before (May
13) took the #2 spot,1 according to
OpenTable data, pointing to festivities happening all weekend long.
Research suggests the trend will continue this year as nearly a
third (31%) of American moms being celebrated will consider dining
out multiple times for the occasion. This includes without the
kids: 31% of moms will consider dining out with friends, 21% will
consider a date night sans kids and 10% may dine out
solo.2
Mother's Day Celebrations for the Ages
While dining
out will be central to Mother's Day this year, OpenTable research
reveals how celebrations differ generation to
generation:2
- Gen Z and Millennials showing up strongly for a Mother's Day
meal out: While the majority of Americans (54%) plan to dine
out this Mother's Day, the share spikes for Gen Zers (65%) and
Millennials (64%) and drops for Gen Xers (49%) and Baby Boomers
(39%).
- Big spenders revealed: 62% of respondents are planning
to spend more at a restaurant, bar or cafe this Mother's Day than
last year. Not everyone sees eye to eye on splurging: 71% of Gen
Zers and 68% of Millennials plan to spend more, while only 58% of
Gen Xers and 44% of Baby Boomers plan to spend more.
- One thing everyone can agree on, no phones at the table:
Over a fourth (26%) of Americans said their ideal Mother's Day
dining experience involves no phones/tablets at the table – nearly
the same share across generations agrees, with 26% of Gen Zers, 24%
of Millennials, 27% of Gen Xers and 26% of Baby Boomers also
wanting to go screen-free.
"People are increasingly choosing to celebrate the mothers and
special women in their lives with a meal out, bypassing breakfast
in bed – and they're going all out, too," said Steve Sintra,
SVP, Americas Restaurant Sales & Services. "Mother's Day
festivities now include dining out multiple times all weekend long,
and diners are planning to spend more than last year, with Gen Z
more likely to splurge than any generation."
Mother's Day Brunch OpenTable's Top 100
list
OpenTable data confirms what's long been assumed:
Mother's Day and brunch go hand-in-hand. Last year, OpenTable data
revealed nearly half (43%) of all Mother's Day dining happened
during brunch hours (11:00 am –
2:59 pm), making it the most popular
meal for the holiday.3
To help treat moms to the ultimate brunch experience, OpenTable
released its annual list of Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in America
for 2024.4 The list is compiled by analyzing more
than 14 million diner reviews and metrics, including diner ratings
and the percentage of restaurant reviews diners tagged as
"brunch." This year, the list spans 29 states and
Washington D.C., with California seeing the largest share of
restaurants (13) for the fourth year running.

4 The Top 100 Brunch Restaurants
Methodology
OpenTable's Top 100 Brunch Restaurants in
America for 2024 is generated from over 14 million verified
OpenTable diner reviews and dining metrics from February 1, 2023 - January
31, 2024. Restaurants with a minimum threshold of diner
reviews were considered and evaluated by a compilation of unique
data points, including diner ratings, the percentage of five star
reviews, the number of alerts set, the percentage of reservations
made in advance and direct searches. Metrics were weighted to
comprise an overall score. The qualified restaurants were then
ranked by the percentage of reviews with the tag "brunch". The
resulting list appears A-Z, not in ranked order.
