Culinary teams routinely check out new items in hopes of finding their next LTO run.... the options can be overwhelming at times with so many good food items out there to choose from...but here are some things culinary teams take into consideration. Seasonality and Trends: Seasonal items tend to perform well - culinary teams may look for opportunities to incorporate seasonal produce, flavors, or themes into LTO offerings. Innovation and Creativity: an LTO item should have creative flavor combinations, unique ingredient pairings, or innovative cooking techniques that differentiate the item from others. #culinary #menuinnovation #innovation #foodandbeverage #foodservice #qsr #foodie

Spirits brands can find opportunities to grow in US fine dining restaurants 🍽️. Fine Dining took a 7.6% share of all spirits sales by value in the 12 months to end-February with vodka as the top shareholder by some distance. CGA’s OPM service indicates similar trends in the beer category 🍻. Import and domestic premium segments have gained +5.6 and +2.0 percentage points of share respectively.
