The holidays offer up a fantastic opportunity to score big with foodservice guests, giving them a fun, festive dining experience while delivering their holiday favourites. “Social” and “shareable” define the trends today—particularly at this time of year. But Brandspark, on behalf of Restaurants Canada, has uncovered a significant preference in consumer dining behaviour: While guests are interested in concepts like smaller portions, family-style dining and tasting menus, small plates/tapas are less appealing to them. This signals an opportunity in designing menus—especially holiday menus—that answer that demand for shareable food.
