We love partnering with hospitality brands, so we’re wrapping up the month with some F&B trends we’re seeing! ??? Have you tried any of these?! Snacks over meals: Consumers looking for value are replacing pricier dinners for happy hour drinks and bar bites. Plus, small bites are a low-stakes way to explore new cuisines. Many restaurants offer discounted happy hour menus with chef-driven food and drinks. Did someone say girl dinner? ?? Savory meal-inspired cocktails: One of the hottest new trends in the dining scene is cocktails heavily influenced by food. Think Caprese martinis, pork belly fat-washed old-fashioneds, and Waldorf salad-inspired cocktails. ???? Bridgerton-inspired fare: The third season of Bridgerton is out now (and yes, we’ve already binged it!), and restaurants are toasting it in all its whimsical glory! ?? Expect to see drinks, dishes, and menus taking their cue from this Netflix fan-favorite. From elegant Regency-inspired cocktails to sumptuous dishes fit for a ball, this trend offers a delightful fusion of fiction and food. Summer dining tips, ingredients and dishes: As the weather warms up, food & beverage outlets will be rounding up the best dishes and cocktails for summertime, patio happy hours, and seasonal ingredients. ?? #publicrelationstrends #marketingtrends #restaurantmarketing #restaurantPR #hospitalityPR #boutiquePRagency

"A Valuable Lesson from an Unexpected Dining Experience" Recently, I went out for a family night to a nearby café. It wasn’t a fancy 3-star place, but it had a good ambiance, clean tables and dishes, and, most importantly, great-tasting food. Despite often passing by this café, we never considered trying it because it never seemed busy. This led us to assume it might not serve good food. However, one evening, seeking a nearby dine-in option, we decided to give it a chance. To our delight, the food was fantastic! We started with two medium pizzas that brought smiles to everyone's faces, including my 2-year-old niece. We then ordered paneer burgers, and our bill exceeded ?600, qualifying us for a ?100 free meal, which we used for a plate of chilly potatoes. This experience taught me an important lesson: “Not being busy doesn’t mean you are not good at your work!” We often disregard places or services that don’t appear busy, assuming they lack quality. But what truly matters is the value provided to those who do engage with you. Good service builds goodwill and repeat customers, regardless of how many people are currently utilizing your services. I will never overlook this lesson and will remember to visit this café again for my cheat meals. "Takeaway: The quality of your work and the value you provide is more important than the immediate busyness or demand. Trust in your value and focus on providing excellent service." What are your thoughts on this experience? Have you had similar realizations? #LessonsLearned #CustomerService #ValueOverVolume #QualityMatters #PersonalGrowth #FoodForThought

?? Did you know sound can change how food tastes? ???? Our research explores the surprising ways that auditory cues, from background music and/or noise to the crunch of each bite, shape your dining experience. Sound is more than just ambiance—it plays a crucial role in how we perceive flavour and enjoy our meals. From pitch to tempo, dishes be improved by focusing on the sense of smell, playing on how sounds around (and within) your meal can make food taste sweeter, richer, or even more intense. ?????

"Passion is Great, But Plates Pay the Bills" They say "follow your food dreams!"? But when you first open your doors, hungry customers won't pay the bills just for your passion.? I see it all the time on food forums. "My food is amazing, why isn't my restaurant busy?" Here's the secret most restaurant owners won't tell you. On day one, your restaurant isn't worth what you think it is. You hear a lot of advice... "Focus on the highest quality ingredients!"?? "Price your dishes based on your expertise!" "Just keep pumping out the specials!" "People will come for the ambiance." Sure, that's part of it. But what truly matters is the value you deliver to your customers. When we first started Ziya, I was: ? Burning the midnight oil perfecting dishes. ? Offering free samples to get feedback and understand what customers craved. ? Obsessing over every detail to create an amazing dining experience. Here are my tips for restaurant success: ? Know your target audience and their needs better than they do. ? Craft a menu that solves their problem (e.g., hunger, time constraints, special occasion). ? Deliver an experience that keeps them coming back for more. Because on day one, your restaurant might be a dream. But by following these tips, by day 100, you'll have a thriving business. #restaurant #success #business #hospitality

Creating a new holiday menu? Consider adding unique ingredients to classic dishes. Studies show that unique ingredients are important to all generations. Add trendy global flavours to existing dishes which will allow your guests to experiment with something new yet somewhat familiar and keep your menu fresh. #funfactfriday #foodservice #mbrestaurants #manitobarestaurants

???????? ???? ???????? ???? 2025: ?????????? ???????? ???????????? ???????? ???? ?????????????? ???????? ??????????????: Is your menu overwhelming your guests? In 2025, less would be more. Restaurants with simplified, focused menus are seeing higher guest satisfaction and increased profits. The days of offering everything under the sun are over—today’s diners want quality over quantity. When you streamline your menu, you make it easier for guests to choose, which leads to faster decision-making and higher table turnover. Not to mention, a shorter menu allows you to perfect your top-selling dishes, reducing food waste and operational costs. A cluttered menu can confuse customers and dilute your brand. By cutting down your offerings and focusing on your “star” dishes, you’ll highlight what your restaurant does best. And here’s a bonus: fewer menu items mean fewer ingredients, which simplifies inventory and lowers food costs. So, take a hard look at your menu. Are there underperforming dishes taking up valuable space? If so, it’s time to trim the fat and focus on what really matters—delivering exceptional meals that your guests will crave and come back for. Remember, a well-curated menu is not just easier for your guests—it’s better for your business. Connect to know more! #ChefSameerUAE
