TRENDS 2021
2
Every year Brain & Poulter condenses hundreds of hours research, data, analysis and through leadership into a set of predictions for the food services sector within Australia and New Zealand property assets. Looking back through our predictions, 87% of them have come to fruition from the rise of home delivery to the growth in meal kits and the adoption of meat-free alternatives to the casualisation of “fine dining”.
Now more than any other year, there is much to predict for the future of food and beverage across the region. The pandemic wreaked financial havoc on hospitality businesses while creating a surge in fresh food and home cooking. As PanPac households re-balance their discretionary spending and hospitality operators radically reinvent their operating models to stay relevant, we share with you 10 thought provoking trends to inspire property owners, developers, government agencies and F&B operators.
To embrace the ideas on these pages will take courage, commitment and capital. For those readers up for the challenge, the rewards will be exponential.
We wish you every success,
Suzee BrainDirector
