The bar and beverage industry has seen some exciting trends recently. Consumers are increasingly motivated by their health and wellness and exploring new experiences and exotic flavors. So, operators must utilize innovative and progressive equipment and ideas to capitalize on these emerging trends. Fortunately, Marco Beverage Systems has the tools to help operators strengthen their profit margin without investing in complex or expensive machinery.
The Latest Trends in the Beverage Industry
As with the foodservice industry, beverages are going through a revolution. What worked in the past will not necessarily cut it moving forward. Consumers want bolder and more dynamic drink options but are looking for health and sustainability aspects in addition to speed and convenience.
For example, coffee was traditionally served only hot in the United States. Now, cold coffee is the preferred method of caffeination, especially among younger Gen Z drinkers. Frappuccinos and cold brews are leading the charge, but operators are only scratching the surface of what's possible.
Similarly, tea is making huge waves within the industry. With the proliferation of bubble tea shops nationwide, more customers want healthier, sweeter beverages that offer more of a tantalizing experience. Now, it's not just about staying hydrated or quenching one's thirst. Instead, it's about getting a dynamic drink that commands attention and leaves a lasting impact.
Finally, as climate change and other environmental concerns continue to shape the world, consumers want to invest in sustainable business practices. For example, fair trade organic coffee has become the gold standard, and customers are pushing for similar advancements with other beverages like tea and soda.
