Attention Trend Spotters, Food/Bev Marketers & Indie Brand Folks: Foxtrot Market is shutting down today. Along with PopUp Grocer, Dimes and a few others, Foxtrot was a go-to place to see the trends and support new brands. Is Erewhon the only game in town? Is Faire the new go-to? Since Erewhon is an OG - this feels like the end of era to me. https://lnkd.in/gf_ygcz6

In less than 2 weeks, EBar goes toe-to-toe with some of the biggest names in the global sports and live entertainment industry at #TheStadiumBusiness Design and Development Summit 2024.   Our innovative Beerwall solution at Millwall Football Club’s The Den, installed in a joint initiative with our partners Sodexo Live!, is nominated for the Concourse Activation Award. This was our first Beerwall installation, and the first permanent, fully automated beer dispensing system in a European live venue! We’ve been busy since then, installing four more Beerwalls at globally renowned venues (Exciting announcement coming very soon on that front 👀), with more in the pipeline for 2025.   Demand for our Beerwalls is driven by their incredible efficiency. A 3-unit Beerwall can pour perfect pints at a rate of up to 600 pints per hour and only needs one member of staff to oversee its operation. With operating costs and staff NI on the rise, now could be the time to seriously consider deploying our self-service dispensing technology at your club or live entertainment venue.   Learn more about how our Beerwall or mobile EBar units could increase bar margins and transform the fan experience at your venue or event by arranging a demonstration.

Convenience can be a driving factor in, well let's face it, many choices we make. But what about taproom visits? Yup. It can even (or especially!) make an impact there, too. How does proximity and convenience play into how you choose which taproom to go to?

As dining costs rise in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, affordable buffets are reshaping urban dining habits. According to the 2023 Report on Workers' Meals by Afterwave Research Institute, the average cost of a work meal in Shanghai is 40-50 yuan, accounting for 30% of a worker's income. Faced with high prices, the inconvenience of home cooking, and takeout hygiene concerns, many office workers are turning to budget buffets as a practical solution. For as little as 25 yuan, diners can choose from diverse offerings, such as freshly cooked dishes, soups, and fruits, often served in clean, open kitchens. Self-service weighing buffets charge by the gram, offering cost transparency and flexibility, with meal costs typically falling between 25-35 yuan. These establishments save time as well, with most meals prepared and consumed in under 10 minutes. This combination of affordability and convenience has fueled the rapid growth of the sector. The 2024 Buffet Development Report shows there are over 60,000 buffet restaurants nationwide, with 66.9% charging under 100 yuan per meal. Buffets priced between 50-80 yuan are particularly popular, making up 33.9% of the market. More than just a cost-saving option, buffets now align with modern trends of fast-paced, health-conscious dining. By adapting to consumer demands for value, efficiency, and transparency, budget buffets have redefined themselves, solidifying their place in China's urban dining landscape.
