We loved seeing MOTH appear in the Waitrose & Partners Food & Drink Report 2023-24. It's interesting to read that 40% of Waitrose shoppers have brought their own cocktail (BYOC) to social events for the first time in the last 6 months. Many choosing canned cocktails over a bottle of wine. Rum and tequila-based canned cocktails have seen a huge 84% growth, with our Margarita leading the way. The report is well worth a read for any foodies. Have you BYOC-ed MOTH yet? https://lnkd.in/dV-b_dq2

Cheers to first class food & beverages management, a vital aspect of any successful event.

We spent yesterday at the Speciality & Fine Food Fair and here are 4 Key Lessons we took away: 1️⃣ Successful brands know clearly how they add value to the sector they are in. 2️⃣ 'If you speak to everyone, you speak to no one'. A clear and focused targeting strategy is key. 3️⃣ Consumers are becoming more confident in eating out more, spending a little more in supermarkets and exploring new cuisines. 4️⃣ Plant-based meat alternatives are starting to enter a plateau because consumers are more confused than ever before about this category. A big thank you to Kelly Dowson and Charles Banks for presenting a brilliant piece on future food trends and to Vhari 🌻 Russell for expertly leading a panel about trends, food service and retail tips and tricks. We learned so much! We're looking forward to also attending London Packaging Week and lunch! - The definitive event for the café, coffee shop & food-to-go sector. this month. So, let us know if you're going, and we'll see you there! #foodandbeverage #foodanddrink #foodandbeverageindustry #marketinginsights

📣 NEW BLOG >> For those who don’t know me well yet in this LinkedIn space, I love to SHARE - stories, blogs, meals, joints, truth. Too often communities of color, especially me as an #AsianAmerican, grow up feeling like we have to hold our tongue and feel a lot of shame, especially in our imperfection. But life has shown me that there’s no time for that. It is short, and we need to share our stories. Did you know that 📣 BIPOC winemakers make up less than 1% of the wine market 🤯 Once I learned that I knew that there was an opportunity to help increase visibility not just for BIPOC winemakers, but also Chefs, Caterers, Spirits, and Beverage brands that didn’t typically get access to or invited to prestigious food and wine festivals. Enter our new festival concept – POC Food & Wine Festival – a celebration of the global majority in food, wine, music, and culture. It’s been almost a year now that I’ve been working on this festival concept. ✨️Read my newest BLOG✨️ below to hear my newest reflections on what it’s like producing our first Food & Wine Festival focused on diversity and equity. Short answer - it’s HARD, but we’re doing it anyway :) Vendor Applications are still open until February 9th, and we're still looking to fill a few spots for Winemakers, Wineries, Beverage brands, and Caterers. JOIN ME! Tag a friend, and let's BUILD 🫶🏽💜 #festivals #wine #winelover #womeninwine #eventprofs #diversityequityinclusion #diversity #wineindustry #eventindustry https://lnkd.in/gBQsPDah

Two simple hacks to increase sales in 2024! 1. Use Bloody Bens Bloody Mary Mix to give your customers a better tasting Bloody that will increase satisfaction and drive repeat visits (whilst speeding up service and giving consistency). 2. Stick it on the food menu. Whether it's your Sunday lunch or Brunch menu, plant the seed amongst your guests that they could be ordering up a Bloody Mary (and you can promote some other drinks whilst you're at it - good margin cocktails, things to make people smile and things that make your venue memorable). We can't guarantee it but we know from experience it's almost definitely going to increase your Bloody sales! Give it a try this winter and see how you go.
