After one of the most challenging years in modern history, the foodservice sector will be looking to bounce back in 2021. Whilst consumers still demonstrate some concerns about mass gatherings and financial sensitivity, the hope that the worst of the pandemic is over and the world is on the road to recovery, will increase willingness to visit foodservice outlets. This webinar examines what strategies foodservice outlets can adopt in order to get consumers back in-store and maximize perceptions of value and appeal.

Chr. Hansen Natural Colors Presentation:

In 2021, foodservice will continue to be dependent on delivery and take away, but as the season progresses in-house dining will once again become a source of revenue. COVID-19 has profoundly impacted our behavior and we are more conscious of our health than ever before. Color represents an untapped opportunity and natural colors are completely aligned with the consumers’ current mindset. We’ll offer basic knowledge about colors from natural sources and provide ideas on exciting new ways to innovate with color.
