Caterlyst Insights has looked at what we can expect from workplace catering in the months ahead and beyond: • Contract caterers having to offer a more flexible approach to contracts, such as three/four day-a-week service & short-term contracts • More employees wanting fluid eating times, no longer traditional day parts • Flexible canteen space that is also designed and used as a collaborative meeting space • Vending solutions willl offer a wider range of all-day dining and snacking products • Click and collect and deliver to desk will grow, potentially from central production units providing greater choice of personalisation • Street food pop-ups and food-to-go will continue to trend • Focus on health continues and more choice with regard to gluten free, plant based, vegan etc • Sustainability remains high on the agenda, reducing waste targets will result in change to menus and how canteens are run.
