International. Market & Innovation

Expansive and innovative: the trends in global gastronomy

The international food service market is becoming increasingly dynamic with innovative concepts and new players. International and European chains in particular are gaining in importance and expanding worldwide, such as Dishroom and Sexy Fish Miami. One example of this is Pret a Manger, which is also increasingly establishing itself in various countries, as are L’Osteria and Sticks’n’Sushi. Ikea is also breaking new ground with its own restaurant concept, as demonstrated by the opening of an independent restaurant in Hammersmith, London. This illustrates the increasing bundling of chains and the transfer of successful restaurant concepts to new markets.

New guests

Baby boomers, Gen Z & Alpha and families are our future

The food service market is changing rapidly and offers numerous new opportunities, but also challenges. Social structures and target group needs have changed dramatically. Germany is a strong country for single diners, who value a nice ambience and visit restaurants for the individual experience, and for older guests.

Sustainable Elegance and Culinary Art

Green Events in the Spotlight at the Opernredoute 2025

When the Graz Opera opens its doors to the 24th Opernredoute on January 25, 2025, the focus will not only be on glamour and sophistication but also on a strong awareness of sustainability. Under the theme “Moonstruck,” elegance, magical ambiance, and environmentally conscious concepts merge this year to create a unique experience.
