Thirty-eight percent of operators try to reduce food waste, and 34 percent on the flip side hope to invest more in marketing efforts to increase income. This tactic can often be neglected if an operator does not have an eye on the trends that affect consumers. It is even more difficult to know in which trends have the expansion of the residence to invest to invest.

Mikes Hot honey was aware of these problems and, in response to the drizzle covers, based on inquiries from leading chains to reduce food waste, increasing efficiency and usability.

In 2025 we expect more applications in drinks such as coffee drinks and cocktails as well as desserts and sandwiches. ”
