Tourism

Menu trends keep changing in response to ever-changing customer demands and tastes. Local and sustainable foods are the new adaptability, competitive advantage, and sustainable strategies for restaurants. Integrating these local foods brings about the ‘home feeling’ which is a feeling every person wishes to experience. In our contemporary world, people are leaning towards healthy living styles, which includes healthy eating habits. If a restaurant can produce local and healthy foods, they become the second homes maximizing customer experience and satisfaction that many target customers are bound to be attracted to, such as the busy, tight schedule customers, families, and tourists. This results in financial, nonmonetary, and health benefits for both customers and restaurants. As much as people would like to eat locally made foods that communicate and promote their cultures, some people always dream of having foreign cuisines. It also provides a place for tourists to enjoy their homemade foods. For instance, I have always dreamed of eating and enjoying traditional Asian foods. When segmenting markets and targeting customers, we always have people that value foreign foods, which makes a restaurant with these cuisines attractive and frequented. People can break the ‘local, home’ mode and explore foreign cuisines.

A fascinating menu trend is the breakfast trend. I always see busy and working-class people rushing in coffee shops or restaurants to order breakfast dishes, and some have them delivered in their offices. I discovered most of these professions do not have time preparing and taking breakfast at home, yet it is the most important meal. I feel breakfast menus should never become obsolete instead should be expanded creatively, as they are one of the most sought and demanded foods in a menu for many people. Other food trends such as desserts, lunch and dinner menus, and children menu instigate differing opinions. For instance, desserts are mostly integrated during dinners, when people are having five-course meals, which are seldom. Today, children eat food eaten by ‘adults,’ which makes these children’s menus rather unexplored by many customers. Beverage trends, just like breakfast trends, are gradually growing; people will always seek beverages for entertainment, partying, leisure, hydration, and relaxation. I agree that many restaurants underestimate and miss their power in driving sales and profit margins. However, there is a need to ensure these drinks and beverages provide healthy options, mainly because many people are transforming their sedentary lives to healthy living habits like watching what they eat and drink.

My favorite choices are local, foreign cuisines, and beverage trends. I love to explore new foods and always wish to maintain a feeling of home through localized foods. Moreover, I am always hydrated, as at times, drinking food is easier than eating it.
