It’s About Data, Not Demographics: How food operators can take the personalised approach to understanding their customer

Technology has transformed drastically since Future Food first set out on a mission to create customer-centric food precincts. Back then, we had access to large chunks of information explaining demographic groups such age, sex and ethnicity that would assist us in creating hospitality spaces designed for our project’s identified users. Demographics were the starting point however, nowadays as people become more connected and groups become less defined, demographics may not be the most useful tool to go off anymore.

We've listed 10 food and beverage brands from around Australia which have caught our eye this year.
