The Future of Food is Exciting - Food and Hospitality Trends of 2020
Trends that will shape the future of your food and hospitality projects for 2020.
Trends are no longer limited to the cuisines on offer or the style of service. The ‘whole experience’ is what matters. Customers have feelings, opinions and are savvy when it comes to choosing where to spend their money. However, food and service will always be at the heart of hospitality.
Growth Strategies for Food and Beverage Clusters
When Future Food partners with our Clients on redevelopment projects, one of the first stages that we frequently perform is the evaluation of a proposed scheme and how F&B should be incorporated into it. Most frequently this is driven by the architectural scheme and the locating of F&B into the scheme, frequently with non-food priorities and considerations as the backdrop for the decision-making process.
However, F&B has its own set of “built in” priorities and as such adopting a scheme-driven approach frequently demonstrates a recurring set of issues.
Realities: An insider’s view of running a small “hospo” business
We, at Future Food, are employed to deliver best practice food and beverage service standards and to ensure that all businesses we work with are striving to push the bar higher.
However, we also understand the challenges that small businesses are facing in the current landscape and we take a lot of this into consideration when setting realistic expectations and goals for our clients. Our aim with this blog post is to provide an insider’s view of the realities of ‘living the hospitality dream’.

The Future of Commercial Catering
From your children’s tuck-shop to the executive offices of Australia’s top corporate companies, from the footy ground (finals fever! whichever code you support) to the most remote places in Australia there is only one thing in common – the commercial caterer.
Is there too much food?
Do we have too many F&B outlets in our communities, our shopping centres, our lives?
Let’s put the answer right up front: No.
Food may be on every street corner, but that does not mean it is successful. The essence of the Hospitality industry is that it is not about the volume of food around, but the quality and consistency to drive sales and bring customers back time and time again.
Cracking the Language Barrier: When is Hospitality Not Hospitality
Now before you think we are taking a shot at our American friends, I assure you we are not. We talk a lot about Hospitality here at Future Food, so it is interesting to note that what we think it means is not a universal definition.
Going Veg? Saving the planet one meal at a time
