Ones to Watch

Whether you’re looking to expand your customer base, diversify your offering or give your menu a money-making refresh, the Aviko Food Trends Report 2023 looks at every aspect of running a successful business in the year ahead.

With most consumers tightening their purse-strings competition for spend is fierce, so it’s no surprise forward-thinking operators are branching out into new opportunities. Readers can get the low down on creating a cultural hub, the upside of being solo diner friendly and the rise of the grey pound. Sustainability and the impact of ethical eating are also examined, from catering for locavores and provenance to evolving your plant-based offering to meet expectations.

Following the last three years it’s no surprise that consumer interest and spend on health has risen, as well as the demand for food that brings comfort. With limited spend however the need to reimagine classics and offer something different to what can be eaten at home is growing. Affordability, comfort food and nostalgia are all trends that continue into 2023, and the Aviko Food Trends Report 2023 serves up inspiration on how these ‘big three’ can be adapted to make the most of food influences including global cuisine, grains, fusion food and healthy snacking.
