Clean Eating to be the major Food and Beverage trend in 2016

Clean Eating” labelling; a trend in 2015 that has inspired back to basics approach in
product development which has seen a surge in the reporting of “free from” launches and
“flexitarian” options.
Page 4 of 7
New global products tracked with “organic” labelling have risen from 6.3 per cent in the
first half of 2013 to 9.5 per cent in the first half of 2015.

According to Director of Innovation at Innova Market Insights Lu Ann Williams, 2016 may
see further interest in a return to natural food processing as links to ‘real’ food are re-
established.

“Many consumers don’t actually need products that are free from gluten, wheat and dairy,
but are demanding them anyway, as they believe them to be healthier. Industry has little
choice but to respond and the recent surge in mainstream gluten free products has been
incredible.”

In outlining the emerging trends for 2016, Williams believed that health-conscious
consumers that reduced their consumption of meat are having a major impact on new
product activity.

The combination of shared health, sustainability and animal welfare concerns are
changing the technological handling and development of alternative protein sources and
animal-friendly treatment.

Established food processing practices that have been around for centuries are in the
spotlight. They bring with them a natural and authentic image to counteract some of the
negative perceptions of heavily processed foods.

Changes in children’s diets have also affected food trends over the past year, as they are
encouraged to consume fusion smoothies and vegetable pastas which further indicate a
possible growth in vegetable consumption amongst adults. 

Question no 8

Customer charactersitics Impact on menu and planning

Age Depending on the age, people prefer different types

offoods. For example, a teenager would prefer fast
foodat a low cost. An older adult whose health
plays animportant role in his life, would prefer
healthier foods,prepared with fresh ingredients and
some cases withorganic ingredients too

Buying power The purchasing power varies according to

theeconomic conditions of people. If a person has
thepossibility of spending a little more, he/ she
wouldprobably prefer to go to a restaurant instead
of cookingat home.

Gender Men and women generally eat the same
foods.However, the portions and the way of cooking
themchange according to the tastes and diet
requirements.Restaurants should be aware of this
and create menusthat fit the tastes of men and
women

Income level Depending on the income level, people go out to

eat ornot. If the level of income is medium/ high,
thepossibility of having clients increases, because
theyhave an entrance of money that allows them to
enjoyoutings to eat.

culturalbackgrounds, this impacts on their culinary
tastes. Aperson who has been raised with spicy
foods will preferthis type of cuisine over the others

Type of customers – Provide a description
Sydney is a city with a wide range of cultures within its demographics. In every place
there will be Caucasians (English, American, Europeans, etc.) and Asians (Chinese,
Korean, Indian, Malaysian, Lebanese, Thai, etc.). These range of cuisines are also
available in Sydney, one restaurant per cuisine. However, these cultures have well
adapted to a continental and Western lifestyle and are used to eating Western cuisine
with an Australian twist. In terms of age, our customers are mostly professionals ranging
from the age of 22 to 50 because of the restaurant’s location. On the weekends, a
casual dinner can be made by a group of friends or even a family
Cuisine style(s) used in the establishment
