Menu

Keeping up with the latest food trends is an effective way to keep your menu fresh and exciting, without replacing the essentials you already have – helping you plan your menu while accommodating fluctuating occupancy levels and saving on costs.

That’s why we’ve created the Future Menus report, exploring eight food trends for 2024 and how these can be brought to life in your hotel.

 

The Low-Waste Menu Trend

Fluctuating occupancy levels can make menu planning unpredictable, affecting food costs and increasing the potential for food waste. The low-waste menu trend presents a sustainable solution to minimise food wastage and save on costs whilst creating dishes that still provide an exceptional culinary experience for your guests.

 

The Feel-Good Food Trend

The Irresistible Vegetables Trend
