With the 2020 pandemic, the restaurant industry had to find solutions to overcome challenges created by the stay-at-home order. 🍝 As consumers seek higher-quality home-cooked meals, premium restaurants such as Rao's Specialty Foods, Inc., Carbone Fine Food, and Momofuku see this shift in consumer preferences as an opportunity to enter a new market. Their popular menu items are turned into profitable products, providing them a new sales outlet and touchpoint for expanding their customer base. 🥫 From pasta sauces to air-dried ramen, consumers are after a more elevated at-home dining experience, gravitating toward premium, locally sourced, and high-quality products. Restaurants ensure that consumer's favorite dishes are perfectly recreated, from taste to texture, to stay relevant in the competitive food delivery industry. 🍲 With decades of collecting consumer data, premium restaurants can connect with people and generate sales by identifying their needs and wants. Some flavors can be challenging to recreate because the ingredients often need to remain in their packaging for extended periods and might not have the same taste as in the restaurant. #SIALParis #Restaurants #PremiumFood #FoodIndustry
