Cheetah Report:
Food retailers are just starting to recover from one of the most trying years the foodservice industry has ever seen.
Continued uncertainty following the COVID-19 pandemic, shifts in consumer behavior, displaced demand from restaurants, mind boggling innovation, new safety and operational challenges and more have all left food retailers struggling to keep up.
To cope with the dynamic market, business owners and managers are looking for new strategies and solutions. The Future of Foodservice: Trends for 2021 is an answer to those who are seeking insights into what the future holds and how to navigate the uncertain retail foodservice landscape going forward.
What's inside?
Understanding what’s next in food retailing and retail foodservice, let alone getting ahead of it, is a challenging proposition with many layers.
This is why we start by answering some of the more pressing questions of the time, like:
- What long-term effects will the COVID-19 pandemic have on the foodservice industry?
- How can companies across all steps in the value chain, including farmers, food distributors, producers, consumer- and packaged-goods companies, and retailers better prepare for the challenges ahead?
- Will the long-term shift in consumer spending and behavior change the way foodservice providers do business, and if so, what do managers need to know to prepare?
- What will be the leading food trends for 2021?
- How are innovation, digitization and demand planning systems changing foodservice business models and operations?
After getting the big IFs and WHYs out of the way, we help you turn insight into action with demand planning.
Demand planning and forecasting is one of the few things that can give foodservice businesses a competitive edge in 2021.
