What are the Growing Trends in the Hotel Food and Beverage Industry?

Some of the trends that are becoming popular in the hotel food and beverage industries are a rise in vertical farming, consumers seeking vegan food options, and fermented drinks becoming more popular.

FREMONT, CA: The food and beverage industry is undergoing rapid change and innovation. As hotels, restaurants, and ghost kitchens work with a changing world and customer base, there are some trends that are here to stay and are growing rapidly. In the coming years, here are the top restaurant trends to watch and these are as follows:

Food and beverage direct-to-consumer growth: Direct-to-consumer models are booming in the food and beverage industry. The changing consumer behavior, and the increasing availability of technology and data, has contributed to this change. As a result, food and beverage companies have developed and marketed their products through direct-to-consumer channels. More targeted selling allows companies to increase profit margins and reach customers directly.

There are more robot kitchen assistants on the way: As the food and beverage industry becomes more automated, robots are becoming more common in kitchens. The machines are used for tasks such as preparing food, cleaning and serving customers. Across the globe, we can expect to see even more robots in kitchens as technology advances. Currently, single-purpose robotics is most popular for automating simple tasks in prep kitchens and production lines.

Vegan food options are in demand by consumers: In every food service channel, the food and beverage industry is responding to consumer demand with vegan products. As more consumers become aware of the benefits of veganism, menus in restaurants and takeout selections are sure to expand.

The rise of vertical farming: As a result of its many benefits, vertical farming has gained more visibility than ever before. Among these benefits is the ability to produce more food with less land, as well as the reduced environmental impact. As the food and beverage industry becomes more sustainable and traditional farming adapts alongside new startups, vertical farming is likely to become more popular.

Social media inspires home cooks: The food and beverage industry is becoming more visible on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Tik Tok. It is partly due to the increased availability of cooking videos, recipe blogs, and other food content on social media. This trend is likely to continue growing as the food and beverage industry engages more with social media.

The popularity of fermented drinks is on the rise: Due to their health benefits, fermented drinks have become increasingly popular in recent years. Fermented fruits, vegetables, and grains are used to make these drinks, which have a unique flavor and texture.

Consumers' Favorite: Mushrooms: Consumers love mushrooms for their unique flavor and texture, as well as the fact that they are a healthy option no matter what diet they follow. There are diverse foods and drinks that can be made with mushrooms. Besides being a source of protein, fiber, and vitamins, they can also be added to unhealthy dishes like pizza and pasta.
