Gen Z Grapples with 'Menu Anxiety' When Dining Out, Survey Finds

Social media's influence on dining choices and anxiety over meal costs contribute to the phenomenon.

86% of Gen Z adults suffer from 'menu anxiety' when dining out, according to a survey conducted by British restaurant chain Prezzo.
34% of Gen Z adults feel so anxious that they ask others to order for them at restaurants.
Gen Z's 'menu anxiety' is triggered by the cost of the meal, not being able to find something they like on the menu, and regretting what they ordered.
38% of Gen Z and millennials wouldn't go to a restaurant if they hadn't looked at the menu beforehand.
Social media plays a significant role in Gen Z's dining habits, with a third of 25 to 34 year-olds choosing menu items that would look best on social media.
