🍛 "Minimizing Food Wastage: A Call to Action in Bengaluru! 🌆 As a regular foodie in the Silicon Valley of India, I've noticed a trend on online food portals like Swiggy/Zomato... - the inclusion of extra curry with orders. While it's great to see generosity, it often leads to unnecessary food wastage. Let's encourage restaurants to offer an 'add extra curry' option, promoting sustainability and ensuring a more mindful dining experience. Together, we can make a difference! 💚 #FoodWaste #Sustainability #BengaluruEats"

You can now find Better Nature Tempeh in EVERY SINGLE Lidl GB STORE across the country 🤩 Lidl GB are running a special one-week vegan promo and are featuring three of our products: our Organic Tempeh, Curry Tempeh Pieces and Mediterranean Tempeh Pieces. It's the single biggest order we've ever received - for over 50,000 units 🤯 It's beyond exciting to see tempeh moving more and more into the mainstream - where it deserves to be. For a long while we were told it was too niche, no one knew what it was, people wouldn't buy it etc. But we persevered. And though there's still a long way to go, with this, our recent Tesco launch and so many exciting developments behind the scenes, it really does feel like the tide is turning 🙌 Even when chatting to people, I'm noticing that more and more people know what tempeh is or have tried it. They often have to stop me as I automatically jump into a totally unnecessary explanation 😅 I've heard some interesting explanations - "fermented tofu" and "a sort of high-protein tofu" are some of my favourites. But the main things people know are that it's natural, nutritious, sustainable and (if they've tried it) tasty, so I'll take it! If you pass a Lidl GB over the next week, it would mean the world if you could drop in and buy some. Thank you for all your support - we couldn't do this without our amazing community 🤗 (Yes, the cut-out of Dr. Amadeus Driando Ahnan-Winarno is coming in very handy) #SupermarketLaunch #Lidl #Tempeh

I know I’m increasingly banging on about sustainability, but it really does matter - absolutely for your teams and for a large slice of your customer base as well, no matter what part of the market you trade in. There can be a financial dividend too - with what consumers might spend and savings on staff recruitment if you get it right. If you’re not convinced or need hard evidence to shift your board thinking, this research has it in spades. Have a read: https://lnkd.in/ePP8Tayi Nutritics CGA by NIQ

Do you know what sustainable gastronomy means? It's a type of food preparation that places a high value on quality ingredients of plant and animal origin, grown and raised under good conditions, and where they come from. Yesterday's Sustainable Gastronomy Day is also an opportunity to raise awareness of this conscious thinking at HEINEKEN Hungária Zrt., as our company is committed to sustainability in terms of our consumers' health and our environmental impact, while at the same time producing excellent quality products.    In addition, paying attention to the origin of the goods is also worth it, as it can reduce the emissions from logistics. We can also support local or regional producers by sourcing local ingredients. At HEINEKEN, it is also important for us to produce high-quality, premium products from local ingredients, and supporting local communities is a key part of our business. Our Sopron 1895 beer best exemplifies our ambition, as the high-quality hops we use are grown in Kastélyosdombó, Hungary. Try the taste of Hungarian hops yourself! #sustainablegastronomy #heineken

Hot take: here are some hospitality trends that we think will be big in 2024: 1. Grab and go – similar to supermarkets and retail, the use of self-service checkouts and coffee machines is on the rise 2. Sustainable packaging – restaurants will look to switch out their stacks of cartons for sustainable beverage dispensers 3. Plant-based menu items – more and more restaurants are responding to the growing desire for vegan options What do you think will be a trend this year? #HospitalityTrends #FoodAndBeverage #PlantBased #Sustainability

🔀 Expanding the product portfolio: A common strategy for companies aiming to reach a larger market share 🍹 The HEINEKEN Company has launch Ladrón de Verano, they're capitalizing on the previous success of Ladrón de Manzanas by entering into a new beverage category: summer reds. 🔃 By adding Ladrón de Verano to their product portfolio, Heineken España is extending their reach beyond beer consumers, offering a refreshing and distinct option for those who enjoy summer reds. 🌟 This move presents an opportunity to attract new consumer segments and strengthen their position in the beverage market. Heineken España can also reduce their reliance on a single product or category, providing greater stability and flexibility in response to changes in consumer preferences or the market. #HeinekenEspaña #SummerReds #MarketExpansion #ConsumerChoice
