Supermarket Trends Target Café & Dining Menus

Here at Future Food, we study trends and changes taking place in the exciting world of food and hospitality.  None is more exciting or challenging for retail food operators that the endless growth in prepared food furnishing the shelves of our supermarkets.  Maybe Australia is just catching-up with supermarkets globally or waking-up to the fact that people want convenience, value and freshness, something that supermarkets are good at delivering.

Food Halls - I'm Here for the Experience

Food Halls are not just food courts in different guise.  They are new food destinations that are exciting consumers around the world by putting food, design and experience first.  These new dining meccas are all about hospitality - built on a strategy of the structure of traditional food courts and the success of Eataly and the great food markets of the world. All of this is informed by understanding the importance of modern biophilic design principles which are aimed at enhancing the well-being of users through “green-place” features.
