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.

Interesting article about 2024 trends in the F&B industry. Food and drink trends are currently being shaped by two core drivers, firstly technology - namely AI, and secondly, consumer demands. Business growth is expected through takeout and tech advancements. Restaurants can enhance operations, offer new things, and 50% are exploring extra income from groceries, retail, and meal kits. Consumer demand trends ahead in 2024 for food and beverages: - Delightful Flavors: Enjoy personalized "little treats" with unique taste and colors. - Local Freshness: Connect with local culture through homemade recipes and stories using locally sourced ingredients. - Healthy Choices: Embrace the spice and vegan hype for a healthier lifestyle, seeking menus with a balance of animal and plant-based options. - 24/7 Availability: Meet the demand for food anytime, anywhere, as the 'grab and go' lifestyle continues to evolve. - Innovative Beverages: Look out for single-serve drinks with natural ingredients for energy, focus, or relaxation, featuring tropical flavors and global herbs, without added sugars or synthetic ingredients. I would add to the above that the concept of food sharing, also known as family style, will continue to be a prominent trend, especially as guests increasingly appreciate discovering imaginative dishes together. #restauranttrends #innovation #foodanddrinkindustry #foodandbeverageindustry #foodbusiness #foodie #foodculture #foodexperience
