Each year, an increasing number of consumers are shifting to a plant-based diet. In 2020 alone, 57% of U.S. households purchased a plant-based food. Revenue from these sales totaled more than $7 billion with more growth expected in the coming years.

There are all sorts of reasons consumers are making the shift to a more plant-based diet, including health reasons, environmental concerns, or animal welfare. There are now thousands of vegan products that have popped up to serve the fast growing vegan market. Even fast-food chains like Taco Bell and other national restaurants now offer plant-based menu options. This idea of a plant-based menu at a fast-food restaurant would have been unheard of a decade ago.

How to Name a Vegan Restaurant?

Having decided to open a vegan restaurant? The next challenge you’ll face is the task of choosing a name for your business. The name you choose for the restaurant is really critical. It will distinguish your establishment apart from potentially dozens of local competitors. In order to make yourself stand out, you must start with a name that leaves a lasting impression on customers.

The following steps can assist you in coming up with the best name for your restaurant:

  • List possible names for vegan restaurants. The name of your restaurant should hint at the kind of food you serve and what your specialty is. Be sure to use a phrase or a word that would indicate you specialize in one kind of cuisine and would stick in the customers’ minds. In this case, you can incorporate names such as “vegan,” “salad,” or “green.”

  • Your brand image should be conveyed by the restaurant name. Your restaurant brand should express the values and mission of your establishment, and it should also influence your overall concept and your name. When guests enter your restaurant and look at your restaurant name, they should immediately feel the brand and restaurant name alignment. For example, you wouldn’t expect a plant-based restaurant name to include ribeye steak on the menu. 
  • The name should be catchy, simple, and short. Customers will be turned off by overly complex names. A hard-to-pronounce name is not likely to gain any recall value and is not likely to help you build your brand. 
  • Keep the name distinct. If you have a business name idea, you should find out if someone else has already trademarked it. To begin, you simply need to visit the U.S. Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) and search for your business name idea. You can use the specialized search engine to perform a trademark search and find out if your ideas has been taken already.
  • An easy way to differentiate your name is to include the location of restaurant. When you include part of your restaurant’s location in its name, such as the neighborhood you’re in, a name of a street, or another landmark. For example, you could tile an eatery the “Boise Vegan Company” to make the name more distinct and regionally relevant.  

Looking at the vegan industry, the market reached a value of nearly $15.4 billion in 2020. The industry is projected to grow at a CAGR by 9% between 2021 and 2026. Among the major players in this market are Amy’s Kitchen, Danone S.A., The Archer Daniels Midland Company, Tofutti Brands Inc., Ripple Foods Inc., and Earth’s Own Food Company Inc.

There are millions of restaurants in the world today and an insane level of competition, but a memorable business name will make you stand out from the crowd. I look forward to seeing what type of menu you come up with for this restaurant.
