Of course, there are many trends that will emerge this year and others that are already visible and will continue into the far future. Therefore, we have picked the five that resonate most strongly with us and which we hope will be highly relevant to you too.
Here are the trends we have chosen and why they matter to you:

2. A growing focus on nutrition and health

3. The importance of hyper-personalisation

4. The growing intelligence of corporate catering
Use technology to combat employee disengagement and grow footfall in workplace restaurants and cafes
5. Food halls and other alternative food environments
Today’s customers want a varied food experience – make sure they can get it without losing convenience
