Colorful Foods

In the age of social media, restaurants are focusing on making their menus as Instagrammable as possible. A London restaurant has gone as far as having prepared Instagram kits for customers who want a high quality picture of their food before they chow it down.

So, how can a restaurant be more “Instagrammable”? It often means using a lot of color, to make food appeal to their customer’s eyes as much as it appeals to their stomachs.

Restaurant owners and chefs alike are beginning to see food as if it were art and it is a way that restaurants can stand out and be creative in a highly competitive industry.

Gut-Friendly Foods

Restaurants are beginning to experiment with probiotic, prebiotic, and anti-inflammatory ingredients into their dishes as research has shown that gut health is directly linked to overall brain function and decreasing chances of diseases such as Cancer and Alzheimer’s.

To keep up with this trend, restaurants will be doing more fermentingfermenting, pickling, and preserving in their kitchens.

Communal Table Dining

Communal table dining is set up to be a win-win for customers and restaurants. This form of dining allows restaurants to maximize their square footage, as well as showing customers a unique way of meeting new people.

Hyper-Local

Hyper-Local restaurants are the result of a growing demand from customers for locally sourced, sustainable food.

Taking locally sourced food to the next level is where we get the name “hyper-local”, and that is when a foodservice business grows produce right on their property.

The appeal to hyper-local farming is that it’s as fresh as it can possibly be, there is no use of heavy gas powered machinery, no use of pesticides, and only producing as much product as you need to prevent waste.
