Full Service Restaurants

Bringing tailored experiences to the table

The joy of dining out at a nice restaurant is one of life’s great pleasures. Consumers who dine at full service restaurants have high expectations. They seek a unique dining experience – delicious food, trendy drinks, knowledgeable staff, all in an inviting atmosphere.

The outlook for this channel is very positive with a predicted annual growth rate of 10.3% up to 2031, globally. Offering high quality food on carefully crafted menus with great attention to detail are key to success.

However, consumer food preferences vary widely and evolve quickly, making it essential to stay ahead of the latest trends. The demand for both traditional and ethnic cuisines is growing, as people crave new flavours and gourmet experiences. Sharing plates that create joyful, memorable moments of discovery are highly appreciated, and creative children’s menus can be a valuable addition.

Newcomers to the dining scene, Generation Z – born between 1995 and 2010 – bring new expectations. Value is key for them, but they also seek “upgraded” experiences, with features they can’t find at home, such as memorable interiors, “tablescaping” and live kitchen theatre.

There is also a clear shift toward healthier food options that deliver great taste, along with a growing emphasis on conscious food consumption. This has driven demand for low-impact, plant-based choices. Fresher, better-tasting produce and a desire to support local communities are key drivers of this trend.

Making the most of a selection of precious ingredients 

Succeeding as a chef or food service professional today requires not only excellent cooking skills but also precise planning. A well-designed menu, featuring a diverse selection of impactful and versatile ingredients, can make a real difference. Rising costs and staff shortages make it crucial to strike a balance between affordable pricing and inspiring menu options – all while maintaining the high quality your guests expect.

Consistently delivering high standards demands the best quality ingredients.

Cheese is a highly valuable ingredient that helps achieve these goals. It adds incredible taste and texture to a wide range of dishes across the entire menu. Its versatility allows it to serve as a core ingredient or to enhance the flavour of other components. Cheese can also be used in sauces, toppings, stuffings, and sides, adding a rich and luxurious touch to any recipe.

Plant-based cheese has come a long way in mirroring the desirable culinary qualities of dairy cheese. The growing variety of flavours and formats makes it easier to create standout plant-based dishes that meet consumer demand, including vegan versions of popular recipes.

Incorporating fruit and cheese into a kids’ menu brings both nutrition and variety, offering healthy yet delicious options. These ingredients provide flexibility – whether served as an appetizer, main course, or dessert. With fruit’s natural sweetness and cheese’s satisfying richness, you’ll meet the growing demand for diverse, wholesome meals that kids will love.
