Aviko anticipates three recurring themes in consumer trends, those being the element of control, enjoyment factor and making ethical choices.
Mohammed Essa, commercial director UK & Ireland at Aviko, said: “It’s fundamental for businesses to continuously evolve, now more than ever. Operators big and small have shown their agility throughout the pandemic and as we emerge through this, it’s key to see the past two years as an opportunity for growth and to diversify.
“A lot of consumer eating habits picked up during the lockdowns are likely to stick and it’s exciting to see that there is opportunity for businesses to respond and grow.”
It’s no wonder that after such uncertain times, consumers have begun to crave control, and this is reflected in their grazing habits. Eateries can respond to this by increasing the choices offered in their menus and the options to personalise meals – giving that control to the consumer to create the perfect dine out experience.
