What’s on the menu? Foodservice update Q1 2025

For foodservices, 2025 is a difficult year to predict. The household financial situation is improving for consumers, but sentiment is weak, and this may affect their spending pattern and price sensitivity, although they are happy to splurge for the occasion. Costs are expected to edge up, but by how much is hard to predict as we enter a year where concerns about trade restrictions and tariffs may affect food prices and, potentially, availability. Against such trends, operators need to fine-tune their businesses to bring sales up and costs down. For that, they may need funding. Luckily, investors are interested in the sector.
