Our first beverage trend for 2024 is ‘Fast Fad-sion’. 📈 Rapid trend cycles are challenging beverage companies to adapt quickly. From viral coffee concoctions to ‘the next big ingredient’ in wellness, consumers are continually looking for new beverage experiences and wellbeing solutions, leading to rapid adoption, and abandonment, of popular beverage trends. Loyalty in this realm can be transient, presenting both opportunities and challenges.  Find out how beverage brand owners can take advantage of this trend by downloading the full Global Beverages Trend Report 2024 here: https://lnkd.in/gkHq45Qn #ThisIsFinlays #Beverages #BeverageTrends #BeverageIndustry

As a food and beverage provider you have to look at consumer trends to make sure you're giving people what they want. Food preference is an ever shifting landscape, and one that can change very suddenly. To make sure our food offering is meeting consumer needs we have to constantly compare internal and external trends. Finding the balance is crucial for keeping current customers happy and attracting new people into the venues through our food offering. There are also so many emerging trends in the food and beverage world that it is often a mammoth task to build out the correct offering without being too reactive to 'flash in the pan' trends that are gone as quickly as they come. The two lasting trends that we've found most interesting have been: 1) A shift towards 'healthy eating' that has 32% of millennials saying is their main focus when considering food and drink. 2) The power of social media and especially Tik Tok in setting the tone for consumers desires and habits around food. As we continue to improve on the food and drink offering at X-Golf and Hey Caddy, these trends have become the lenses that we develop our offering through. Doing this means there won't be any nasty surprises for us as hospitality provider when we look at our data and find we're behind the times. #xgolf #consumertrends #foodandbeverage #emergingtrends #hospitalityindustry

As an ex-hospo front liner turned hospitality marketer, F&B trends have always been fascinating to watch unfold. But you can't just blindly change with the times. Like fashion, food trends can turn on a dime and then disappear in a flash. Striking the perfect balance as an F&B provider is reading between the lines to see the overarching shift, rather than getting bogged down in the fast paced preference changes. How many times have hospitality providers spent ages developing a new menu item that is trending, only to see its relevance fade instantly? I know from experience the answer is: all the time.
