INDUSTRY INSIGHTS PAYMENTS BECOME

PART OF THE EXPERIENCE Contactless payment is now an expectation rather than an innovation. UK consumers made 19.2 billion contactless card payments worth £311 billion in 2025. Meanwhile, 65% of adults were registered for mobile payments, rising to 89% among 25–34-year-olds. The opportunity has moved beyond simply processing a transaction. Hospitality businesses are connecting payment with ordering, tipping, loyalty, receipts and repeat visits. The best systems make the entire customer journey quicker while giving operators a clearer view of spending behaviour.

AUTOMATION MOVES INTO THE MAINSTREAM

The technology with the clearest future is practical: faster service, larger orders, lower labour requirements and better stock control. Operators increasingly want connected ordering, kitchen, workforce and payment systems—not another standalone dashboard. Restaurant technology is now profit infrastructure, not an experiment. Self-service kiosks, mobile ordering and delivery partnerships contributed alongside cost-cutting and menu changes.

THE UK’S 100 LARGEST RESTAURANT GROUPS INCREASED AGGREGATE PROFIT BY 18% TO £365 MILLION, WITH TURNOVER RISING 19% TO £12.9 BILLION. RESTAURANTS WANT TO OWN THE ORDER Small food businesses are strengthening their direct digital channels. A 2025 Food Standards Agency survey found that 61% had their own website and 25% were taking orders through it. Third-party delivery-platform use remained stable at 14%. Food Standards Agency This does not mean the end of Deliveroo, Just Eat or Uber Eats. The emerging model is hybrid: platforms provide discovery and delivery, while direct ordering delivers better margins, customer data and loyalty. The most useful technology will manage both channels without duplicating menus, stock or workflows.

FOOD DELIVERY

ENTERS ITS CONSOLIDATION ERA

The UK delivery market is consolidating around a few global technology ecosystems. DoorDash completed its approximately $3.9 billion acquisition of Deliveroo, while Prosus took control of Just Eat Takeaway. com in 2025. Delivery is no longer just about transporting meals. The larger prize combines consumer demand, advertising, reservations, payments, loyalty and restaurant software. Operators may gain more capable tools, but they also risk becoming dependent on platforms that control both customer access and commercial data. The big picture is clear: hospitality tech has entered its execution era. Success will belong to operators that connect ordering, payments, operations and customer relationships—and can prove the financial return.

BOUGIE ON A BUDGET For many guests, financial strain caused by the economic downturn means that they can no longer afford to splash the cash on top-of-the-line holidays and guest experiences. However, this does not mean that their business is lost. To capture and cater for this audience, the hospitality industry can offer lean luxury stays; this could be offering a breakfast service but not the whole board, cutting down on large lobby areas, and streamlining digital processes. As well as this, by working with third parties such as LastMinute. com to be included in package holidays, or offering discounts to return guests or customers who meet certain criteria, hotels could increase their occupancy and profit.

DIGITAL GUEST

JOURNEYS Instead of physically stepping into a travel agent’s office, travellers are now using mobile applications and websites like Booking.com, tripadvisor, and skyscanner to book their holidays. Used in combination with online early check-in for flights, apps such as Uber, Grab, and Bolt for taxi rides and transportation, and virtual check-in options and keys for hotels, a guest will be able to reach their hotel room with minimal interaction from staff and customer service. The applications and websites used to book stays also allow guests to book activities and change locations if they are unsatisfied with their chosen accommodation option, often on a whim or while they are already on the move - this gives guests choices and autonomy that they would not otherwise have.

Building a Pre-Opening Team Without Hiring Anyone Leisure Works is a hybrid, multi-revenue community pub concept. Three floors, six revenue streams. Its founders came from property, not hospitality, so they turned to a hospitality consultancy marketplace to help them build a specialised fractional team instead of hiring one. Follow the pre-opening journey, told by the developer who wrote the brief, the consultants delivering it and the platform founder who connected them. DAY 1 | 3:00PM - 3:30PM

SEDAT CETINKAYA COO | Saha Robotik

Stop searching for waiters, start serving guests. Hospitality has the highest staff turnover of any industry in the UK at 52% — and 42% of new hires leave within their first 90 days. For most operators, finding and training waitstaff has become a permanent second job. This session argues that the root cause is structural: waiting is still widely treated as a temporary role, when in reality great service requires professional focus on the guest — not on carrying plates. Attendees will explore how AIpowered ordering and autonomous delivery robots can take over repetitive tasks, freeing human staff to do what only humans can: build genuine connections with guests. Real-world deployment data from live restaurant operations will demonstrate the practical labour savings this model delivers. DAY 2 | 10:30AM - 11:00AM

FINTAN BRIDGER Partner Development Manager | Dojo

Why is your guest experience the most likely to ruin it? Don’t let a slow bill spoil a perfect dining experience. In a busy restaurant, “payment friction” from unintegrated tills and card machines is a silent profit killer. It slows service, drains staff time, and frustrates customers. Join Fintan Bridger, Dojo’s Partner Development Manager, in a candid conversation with a leading hospitality merchant. They’ll reveal how to eliminate friction and unlock faster table turnover, happier staff, and delighted guests who can’t wait to return. DAY 2 | 12:00PM - 12:30PM

What the Summer Data Reveals About Winning Operators & How AI Can Empower Them The latest summer 2026 data from Harri reveals the gap between the best operators and the rest has never been wider, with top performers running three to four times ahead on the metrics that decide profitability. So what are the winners doing differently, and where does your venue really sit? Dan Maimone (Head of CX, Harri) unpacks the numbers, while Ayesha Ansari (Director of Product Management, AI & Analytics) explores how AI helps operators spot strain earlier, forecast demand more precisely, and act before problems reach the P&L.

DAAN BAKKER & ZACK BRAR VP Gowth & Ops Manager | Solutions4Delivery

Herbies Pizza’s Digital Transformation: From Multiple Providers to Omnichannel Solution Running a QSR chain in 2026 means juggling five different systems, managing multiple locations, and competing with the delivery platforms eating into your margins. Sound familiar? Herbies Pizza has been running across South-East England for 40 years. In this session, their Operations Manager walks through exactly how they navigated a full digital overhaul, from a scattered tech stack to a single omnichannel platform covering ePOS, KDS, website, app, driver management, and data. Resulting in less dependency on third parties, real-time insight across every location, and a clear roadmap to 30 stores. DAY 1 | 12:30PM - 1:00PM

Global Product Lead, Enterprise Verticals | Elavon Europe

The invisible payment - Why the best hospitality experiences are the ones where payment disappears into the journey Guests don’t think in channels, systems or payment technologies. They simply expect a seamless experience from booking to check-out. In this session, Ian Butler explores how leading hospitality operators are removing friction, connecting digital and physical journeys, and using modern payment platforms to improve guest satisfaction, operational efficiency and business performance. Discover the trends shaping hospitality commerce, why omnichannel matters, and how connected experiences will define the next generation of customer engagement. DAY 1 | 2:45PM - 3:15PM

SARA CICATIELLO

Head of Product | Hospitality Growth Services Ltd ta Nory | Lightspeed POS UK Ltd

What AI Actually means in Hospitality AI is everywhere in hospitality, but most operators are still working out what it does, where it genuinely helps, and where it falls short. This session cuts through the noise. We’ll look at where AI is already having real impact in hospitality operations: forecasting, scheduling, cost control, and where the hype outpaces the reality. Then we’ll look at what a coordinated system of AI assistants actually looks like in practice. DAY 2 | 12:30PM - 1:00PM

ROSS TAYLOR

Head of Payments and Liquidity Sales | Lloyds Merchant Services

Smarter payments and stronger cash flow for hospitality growth In hospitality, payments are no longer just the final step, they’re a key part of the overall customer experience and how a business performs day to day. This keynote explores how simpler, more seamless ways to pay can help drive revenue, build customer loyalty, and reduce operational friction. But it goes beyond the moment of payment, looking at how faster settlements, better data insights, and more connected systems give businesses greater visibility and control over their cash flow. By linking payments more closely with banking, through real-time insights and access to flexible funding, hospitality businesses can better manage cash flow, adapt DAY 2 | 1:15PM - 1:45PM

BEN DIXON CO-FOUNDER & CTO | SONA TECHNOLOGIES LTD AI in Hospitality: Why is it so hard to get started Everyone agrees AI matters but almost nobody in hospitality feels like they’ve actually scratched the surface of it. This session is an honest discussion about that gap, not the technology, but why getting going is so much harder than the hype suggests. Having spent five years building AI-native technology for hospitality, Ben will unpick the real blockers, share genuine use cases, and get practical about where it makes sense to start. DAY 1 | 2:15PM - 2:45PM

CARL JACOBS CEO & CO-FOUNDER | APICBASE Five AI Myths Holding Multi-Site Operators Back AI has moved from pilot projects to live operations, but most operators are still acting on assumptions that no longer hold.

TEVALIS TECH HUB

HOSTED BY

The Tevalis Tech Hub brings a connected estate to life.

Hospitality operators are under more pressure than ever to deliver exceptional guest experiences while keeping a tight grip on cost, complexity and headcount.

Too often, the technology meant to help ends up adding to the load instead. Another system, another login, another set of data that doesn’t quite talk to everything else. Tevalis is bringing that conversation to Hospitality Tech Expo, alongside some key partners, they are hosting the Tevalis Tech Hub, a dedicated space at the show where you can see them and eight of their closest integration partners live.

THE HUB IS FOR HOSPITALITY LEADERS WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT… • • • • • •

Reviewing their EPOS Improving their technology stack Connecting systems across multiple sites Getting more from their data Scaling without adding complexity Giving their teams less technology to manage, not more.

WHY TEVALIS IS THERE Tevalis has spent more than twenty years working alongside hospitality operators, and one thing hasn’t changed: technology should quietly do its job so your teams can focus on theirs. That means reducing operational complexity, connecting the systems your business relies on and giving your teams confidence that the technology behind them simply works.

MEET THE PARTNERS Rather than seeing Tevalis in isolation, you’ll see their platform working alongside their partner solutions that they work with every day. These are the connected technology ecosystems already supporting hotels, restaurants, competitive socialising venues and complex multi-site hospitality businesses.

RUNNING ALONGSIDE

The UK foodservice sector remains a cornerstone of the wider hospitality industry, accounting for roughly half of total revenue. Valued at around £78 billion in 2025 and projected to exceed £100 billion by 2030, it continues to present significant opportunities for growth. Restaurants and takeaways sit at the heart of this expansion, driven by evolving consumer expectations and increasing demand for convenient, at-home dining. With online ordering now the dominant channel for takeaway and delivery - forecast to reach nearly £16 billion by 2028 - the pace of change across the sector is only accelerating. Against this backdrop, the Restaurant & Takeaway Innovation Expo brings together the ideas, tools, and connections needed to stay competitive. From discovering the latest technologies to gaining insight from industry leaders, the event is designed to help you adapt, grow, and unlock new revenue opportunities in a rapidly evolving market. This year’s exhibition and conference will showcase leading suppliers across every area of operations - from next generation delivery tools and kitchen automation, to eco-innovation in recyclable packaging and exciting new flavour fusions. Whether you are new in a small business or a veteran of the industry, you’ll find solutions to the problems you currently face and answers to the challenges of the future. Our agenda is jam-packed and hand-picked, featuring expert speakers ready to offer real-life case studies and insight on today’s food service landscape. Attendees can expect strategic advice on tech adoption, staff retention, branding, and more - all curated to move your business forward into the future. Restaurant and Takeaway Innovation Expo is your chance to join those driving the future of hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you for two days of discovery, connection, and growth.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS In 2026, reports predict that AI will be used for demandforecasting, menu engineering, labor scheduling, and stock management. Restaurants and takeaways will also work to unify systems such as back of house/front of house/staffing and ensure that all staff can cover all of the different roles required for the restaurant to run smoothly.

Food delivery apps such as Just Eat, Deliveroo, and Uber Eats give customers the opportunity to order food without leaving their houses, and eat-in restaurants are also making their menus available via QR codes.

LOCATION,

LOCATION, LOCATION Some establishments use AI to predict customer footfall to indicate the best place to set up their restaurant. Traditionally attractive areas, while high in customer footfall, are also more expensive. Artificial intelligence can be used to determine good locations for a company to establish itself, using analytics to predict future customer footfall. For example, Gail’s bakery chain uses a self-learning AI algorithm to determine good locations for new branches. With climbing rent prices and only so much room for new shops, companies are likely to continue utilising AI to discover the cheapest available locations while retaining access to customers.

GHOST KITCHENS

Ghost kitchens are also becoming more prevalent. Focusing solely on food production, these restaurants don’t exist as eat-in establishments and can be operated out of kitchens without a public-facing establishment. This cuts down on costs associated with front-of-house roles, seating, and interior and design, and negates the need for licenses for live or recorded music, sporting event screenings, and selling alcohol on-premesis.

SUSTAINABILITY Restaurants and takeaways may choose to follow a seasonal menu or use ingredients grown locally instead of importing them - this will reduce costs, and establish the restaurant as environmentally friendly by reducing its overall carbon footprint. Sustainability does not only involve packaging - some coffee shops, such as Coffee#1, offer free bags of used coffee grounds to customers for them to repurpose in their gardens or as scent absorbers. Others carefully choose their coffee to minimise their carbon footprint, and brew it sustainably in energy-efficient brewers or in large batches, reducing the per-cup environmental impact.

22


PERSONALISED CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE Customer data can be analysed to predict their future behaviour, such as what they will eat, when they will want to eat it, and whether they will finish their meal. Software company Nory AI suggests that it will be possible to use AI to reduce portion sizes in order to cut down on food waste. Restaurants and takeaways will be able to create personalised offers or discounts based on a customer’s order history, location, dietary requirements and preferences. The customer experience can be personalised in other ways - subscriptions and gamified rewards for loyalty can make the purchasing experience more enjoyable while simultaneously increasing consistent customer support.

HIGH-QUALITY VS

LOW-COST DISHES

Tight budgets mean that some restaurant and takeaway customers will want more while paying less. To fill this growing corner of the foodservice market, restaurants and takeaways should offer filling, satisfying meals at a low cost. Elevated basics such as loaded fries, jacket potatoes, and rice meals can be used to make the customer feel as if they are treating themselves while keeping prices low, encouraging customer loyalty. However, there remains a fine-dining customer base still to be catered for. Bidfood found that 75% of diners consider themselves “quality-led”, and that the standard of ingredients and service offered by a restaurant are both key factors when choosing where to go out to eat. These consumers feel that their money should give them an entire immersive, premium dining experience - so restaurants equipped to provide this experience should target foodies who want to explore flavours and don’t mind splashing the cash.

GLOBAL FLAVOURS

Bold and savoury flavours, particularly from countries such as Korea, Malaysia, and South American nations, are being sought out by consumers seeking new tastes. Global combinations and flavour fusions such as Korean pulled pork & kimchi, jalapenos and chipotle sauce, and gochujang and yuzu have been increasingly featured in product launches and mentioned on social media, while combination sauces such as hot honey are refreshing familiar classics such as fried chicken and pizza. Authentic traditional foods, especially from East Asia, are growing in popularity.

SWEET TREATS The boom of dessert shops is not slowing down. In 2026, these shops blend classic comfort foods with a modern twist - for example a deconstructed apple pie.

Also popular are mini treats that can be eaten in one bite such as cake pops, and instagrammable foods such as wobbly souffles, lava cakes, and accents such as liquid nitrogen and gold leaf. Pistachio flavoured desserts continue to dominate dessert shops, while yuzu and other citrussy and tangy flavours are growing more popular, cutting through the sweetness of traditional dessert offerings.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS CONVENIENCE IS AN EXPECTATION Research by Lumina Intelligence found that the UK food-to-go market is set to grow by a value of £26 billion by 2028. To capitalise on this, vendors should advertise their food quality and freshness, perceived health benefits, and the ethics and carbon footprint associated with the ingredients. Displaying these facts so that consumers are not required to do their own research ensures that companies can signpost themselves as an ethical and reliable option for customers to choose. Convenience must involve all sides of the consumption process, including the technology used when ordering. Touchscreens at fast food restaurants, cinema concession stands, and in foodto-go establishments can reduce workload on human staff, freeing them up to work where they are needed. Screens can not only also reduce queuing times and improve turnaround times for food - which are intrinsic and vital for the grab and go industry - but also increase order value through upselling.

SUSTAINABILITY Customers are becoming rapidly more interested in sustainability, and may even change their consumption habits to support a brand that uses recyclable packaging or eco-friendly practices. Rather than an optional feature, this is now expected to come as standard - companies are all but required to reduce their carbon footprint and energy consumption to meet the eco-conscious expectations of their customers. Not only are there standards to be met in terms of packaging materials, but also the distance that foods have travelled - environmentally-minded customers may prefer food with local origins rather than ingredients that have picked up thousands of air miles between being selected and being eaten.

ALTERNATES AND REPLACEMENT FOODS Consumers are becoming more health-conscious, so the meals-to-go food options should include meals that they will not think twice about eating. This can be balanced meals with high-protein or high-fibre contents, and low-sugar, lactose or gluten free, and plant-based options. Healthy food-to-go options such as salad and grain bowls are becoming increasingly prominent, with social media acting as a driving force for this popularity; Vypr’s Joel Dixon reported that 60% of 18-34 year olds discovered salad bars on Instagram or TikTok. While the US has a wider array of options, the growing popularity of The Salad Project, Dublin’s Sprout & Co, and Urban Greens are a sign of market growth on the UK’s side of the pond. Offering a range of vegetables and healthy carbohydrate options, these salad bars often also offer additional protein that may appeal to fitness-minded consumers.

24


RELIABILITY

To establish a solid customer base, it is imperative for businesses in the food-to-go market to prove themselves as reliable sources of quality food, using quality ingredients. This will be shown not only through taste but also through clear labelling of ingredients and allergens. The UK government has put into place regulations such as Natasha’s Law, which came into effect in 2021, requiring “pre-packed for direct sale” (PPDS) foods to provide a full list of ingredient lists with potential allergens highlighted. Reliable quality maintains customer satisfaction and keeps returning customers. Some will have favourites that they return to, others will try different options from the menu. Whether they are buying familiar favourites or perusing your menu, it’s essential to your business’s success that all offerings are reliably good quality.

THE LIPSTICK EFFECT Despite customers tightening their belts and reducing overall spending, in 2026 the ‘lipstick effect’ is in force. Named following the rise in lipstick sales following the 9/11 attacks, this effect is a consumer behaviour trend where affordable luxury item sales rise after or during an economic downturn or crisis. Research carried out by Finsbury Food Group and Lumina Intelligence discovered that small luxuries such as premium snacks and drinks are growing in popularity. Customers are also treating themselves to coffees from shops rather than making their own at home or at work - allowing themselves an affordable treat. As eating out is a luxury that some customers will not be able to afford, portions will need to be hearty and taste good. With customers wanting more for less, street food businesses need to make sure the food is worth every bite! Familiar favourites such as jacket potatoes and loaded fries will be popular and filling options, with toppings that elevate standard offerings, such as bacon bits, kimchi, truffle sauces, and mac ‘n’ cheese. These low prices combined with tasty flavours and a high ranking on the satiety index will leave customers simultaneously satisfied and wanting more!

SPACE EFFICIENCY

& LEAN LABOUR

The grab and go sector of the food service industry has no need for on-premesis seating - thus allowing for smaller spaces to be converted into viable space for a grab-and-go business. Minimal back-of-house space leads to the need for space efficiency, with multi-purpose equipment and machinery for assembly, packaging, and heating, reducing space requirements, costs, and staff training. As well as this, technology used should be capable of high throughput to cope with a high volume of rapid transactions during high-volume hours such as break times, lunch hours, and after school and work. Staff should also be trained to run all necessary machines and equipment, including tills, to reduce overstaffing and associated costs.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS SUSTAINABILITY PRIORITIES Hotels and resorts are pursuing third party sustainability credentials to independently verify that they are not greenwashing their carbon footprint and environmental data. Through the use of biometrics and plastic reduction, physical keys are becoming less common. Guests are showing more interest in regenerative design within hotels and the products that they use, community integration rather than secluded resorts, and hotels that give back to the ecosystem and surrounding communities. Commonly, this can also be seen in notices posted to customers about leaving their towels on the floor to indicate the need for replacement, or hanging them up to show that they can be reused; some Hilton hotels also give guests points for declining housekeeping, and then let them exchange these points for a free drink or meal. Other environmental drives can include coral reef monitoring, reforestation, sea turtle habitat protection, and living shoreline restoration - including tourists who volunteer is an excellent way to turn sustainability drives into a destination activity.

BRAND STORYTELLING AND SOFT SKILLS With traditional hospitality jobs such as check-in, payment, and receptionist jobs being replaced by artificial intelligence, the role of a hotel’s human staff will change. Instead of entering data, staff will curate brand vibes, leading guests through the hotel or resort’s story, making the most of face-to-face time, and fostering human emotional connexions with guests.

LEAN STAFFING AND BUDGETING To reduce costs in 2026, hotels will likely lean away from spending deemed unnecessary, and towards predictive maintenance. Hotels are also predicted to use lean staffing principals, such as replacing human staff with AI and robots, and to use predictive models to anticipate when to bring on more staff.

30


WELLNESS RISE Hotels and resorts are increasing efforts to enhance guest well-being. This can include creating environments for guests to ‘feel better’ as well as to ‘escape’. Health-conscious guests may increasingly gravitate towards spas and retreats, as well as accommodation that offers health-focused menus and exercise classes such as yoga or swimming. Wellness is increasingly becoming a core part of the guest experience rather than a premium add-on. Hotels that integrate nutrition, movement and relaxation into the stay can differentiate themselves as guests increasingly prioritise health alongside traditional measures of luxury.

SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCE Using social media sites such as TikTok and Instagram, guests and consumers are sharing their own opinions, advice, and top tips for getting the most out of their chosen travel destinations. This creates opportunities for forward-thinking hotels and resorts - making the decision to partner with popular content creators could increase a company’s social media presence and spread the company name. Guests also pass on their good reviews through word of mouth, as well as simply by tagging a location on their Instagram story or sharing pictures of their holiday.

“BLEISURE” INCREASES As remote working policies continue to free up a large portion of the workforce to travel while holding a job, these workers often choose to answer emails and conduct meetings from hotels and resorts during the day, and take advantage of the local nightlife, sightseeing locations, and family time opportunities outside of working hours. Guests are now able to search for “remote work friendly” accommodation options on websites such as Booking. com - tailoring spaces for not only leisure but also work may involve offering quiet rooms to avoid distractions, a reliable and readily-available wifi connection, or restaurants with tables large enough for laptops.

Commercial brand directors | Hilton & Boost inc.

How do you turn a quiet corner of a hotel lobby into a next-generation profit centre? In this session, Jonathan Ming from Hilton and Roman Purtschert-Wigger from Boost inc will discuss how lobby retail is moving beyond shelves, snacks, and basic convenience. By combining smart technology with adaptive assortments, automated restocking, pricing algorithms, and continuous performance learning, hotels can transform underused lobby space into a scalable ancillary revenue stream. The session will explore how a simple concept becomes smarter over time: learning what guests buy, when they buy, what should be restocked, what should be removed, and how the offer can adapt by hotel, location, season, and guest profile. Where traditional hotel vending typically captures around 6.5% of potential guest spend, technology-enabled micromarkets can push that capture rate closer to 20%.

Here in the UK, a pub, bar or coffee shop is essential for community building - a place for meeting friends, the location for a date, or a place to watch sports or enjoy a sunday roast with a beer or a wine. In 2025, although volumes remained below pre-Brexit levels, the UK food and drink sector achieved record export values of £25.6 billion, and the hospitality sector contributed significantly to UK employment with roughly 4.1 million people working in some way towards the drinks trade economy. With ever-changing customer preferences, it has never been more important for businesses to stay ahead of their competition, and the Trade Drinks Expo will give all attendees the opportunity to network across the entire hospitality industry. See new point-of-sales technology, innovative product packaging, and try exciting flavour fusion ideas.

INDUSTRY

INSIGHTS NEW AND INNOVATIVE DRINKS

Export values of sake have almost doubled since 2020, and with fruity and fresh flavours becoming reliable crowd pleasers in 2026, it is no wonder. Following UNESCO’s recognition of sake as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, consumers became more interested in it as a non-Western flavour. With North American, European, and Asian Pacific consumers becoming more interested in branching out to sake, establishments that sell alcohol should consider leaning into the trend. Tequila and mezcal are becoming more fashionable, with Margarita and Paloma cocktails showing a rise in popularity. These versatile cocktails can be customised through the addition of sweet or sour flavours as well as spices and herbs. Equally versatile are slushies - adding flavours to ice to create a cheap and cheerful drink should not be overlooked. Fortune Business Insights predicted that the frozen cocktail market size will grow from $494.00 million in 2026 to $943.31 million by 2034. For Millennial and Gen-Z customers especially, the novelty and nostalgia associated with slushies may well make them the drink of the summer!

LOW AND NO-ALCOHOL OPTIONS Many consumers - particularly Gen-Zs and Millennials - are cutting back on their alcohol consumption, often for the physical and mental health benefits that a low-alcohol diet can bring. The drinks that they choose instead do still allow for in-person drinking in pubs and bars, but are often lower in calories. Beer and IPA brands such as Heineken, Guinness, and Lucky Saint Lager provide popular and award-winning low- or noalcohol options, while spirit brands also offer 0% alternatives that mimic the flavour and scent of alcoholic drinks without the threat of a hangover and anxiety.

GIVE TEAS A CHANCE With consumers more conscious of what they are putting in their body, and looking to support their health with functional teas, caffeine-free options, and immunity boosting shots. Rooibos and herbal teas are naturally caffeine-free, and ideal for stimulant-sensitive consumers, while options such as bubble tea and pandan with jelly cubes offer texturally interesting choices. Flavours like lavender, elderflower, hibiscus, rose, and lemongrass all add a fresh and interesting spark to old favourites. Cold brewed teas become more popular during the summer months but can be enjoyed year-round, driven by a demand for healthier and low sugar options. 38

CBD AND FUNCTIONAL

DRINKS

Functional drinks are a new and innovative corner of the beverage market. These drinks can include lion’s mane - used to boost cognitive function, memory, and energy, CBD - an alcohol-free compound which promotes pain management, anxiety reduction, and focus - among others. Pandan is a Southeast Asian plant which has been used in Ayurvedic medicine. The plant’s long leaves boast antioxidant properties, and can be used to create a syrup for use in cocktails, make pandan tea, or flavour coffee. Fermented drinks such as kombucha and tepache (fermented pineapple and brown sugar), as well as chicory-based coffee alternatives (a rich source of prebiotic fibre) bring benefits for the gut.

PACKING Flavours cannot be the only unique aspect of a drink’s advertising. Interesting shapes, colours, and labels are also key methods to catch a customer’s attention. Novelty shapes such as the spherical Buzzball are highly-recognisable and easily portable, as well as being 100% recyclable with aluminium lids. The Journal of Environmental Psychology found that in dim environments, such as a bar, products emitting light received 55% more visual attention compared to their alternatives - the use of light-catching, shiny, or OLED labels would draw the customer’s eye and make drinks stand out. A study by Tobii Pro Lab found that products that glow receive 3 times longer fixation by customers, and in nightlife scenarios benefit from 55% higher recall. QDOL’s range of sparkling drinks with pokemon themed cans takes advantage of Gen-Z and Millenial’s nostalgia and familiarity with the game, and offers non-alcoholic novelty drinks in a range of fruity sparkling water flavours.

Industry Insights THIRD SPACES AND COMMUNITY BUILDING Cafés are becoming more than just a place to pick up a cup of tea or coffee. Community was the buzzword for 2025, and in 2026 this is being taken on by cafés and coffee shops to create a reliable space for socialising, working, and meetings. Cafés used as a meeting point for running clubs will find that their customers come back weekly for a post-exercise reward. Book clubs and art classes making use of the café space offer an opportunity for the café to create new revenue streams by developing a personal relationship with customers and creating a loyal customer base. Events such as latte art workshops and tasting events are a great way to create personalised experiences for customers and broaden an interest in coffee. Cafés capitalising on this may need to remodel or rework their interior to make a multi-purpose space, offering comfortable seating areas for groups to sit, quality WiFi to allow for patrons to work while they enjoy a beverage, and potentially offer social hours and the opportunity to rent venue space.

INVISIBLE TECHNOLOGY As artificial intelligence becomes more popular throughout the food service industry, digital ordering will become more prevalent. This can include cafés storing consumer preferences in a system, so customers don’t have to reenter them every time they order - reducing wait times and increasing customer satisfaction. AI can also be used in stock forecasting and waste management. Companies such as Oakberry, Supermac’s, and Eat a Pita all use AI to predict inventory and supply chain needs. EL&N Artisan Roasters replaced manual tracking with AI inventory management across 5 locations and found a -22% reduction in food waste. Weather patterns, sales patterns, and events all impact overall footfall for businesses. AI specialists such as ADECI predict that companies will centralise all forecasting software, allowing all decisions to be made with a complete and transparent understanding of impacting factors. For example, a café could take International Coffee Day into account when ordering inventory.

40


LOYALTY The gamification of customer loyalty has seen a rise in stampable loyalty cards, birthday rewards, and points that customers can track in digital applications and use to gain a free coffee or a discount. Offering birthday freebies and rewards makes customers feel appreciated and valued, increasing the emotional relationship between the customer and the café, and drives engagement and attachment to the brand. Birthday freebies can introduce a customer to a new product which they may choose to continue buying even when they must pay for it. While generic emails lack a personal touch, Transformidy found that customers who receive personalised birthday greetings are 45% more likely to make a purchase during their birthday month than those who receive no communication at all.

HEALTH

CONSCIOUS CUSTOMERS Clean living is trending and cafés have opened their doors to healthy options. Think turmeric lattes, green teas, and - of course - the highly popular and antioxidantfilled matcha. Combined with choices of oat, soya, or almond milk, and low-sugar and gluten-free options, a steadily growing collection of healthy customers are looking for cafés that cater to their dietary needs. To take advantage of this, cafés should offer vegan options and milk alternatives.

INDEPENDENT COFFEE SHOPS According to British Baker, local and independent cafés are growing in popularity, with more than 62.5% of consumers preferring an independent coffee shop over one operated by a chain. The general consensus is that these indie spaces are free to offer higher quality artisan coffee, a more personalised experience, and coffees with a bolder and more inventive flavour profile rather than the generic options offered by chain operators. Customers seeking higher-quality coffee are interested to know not only where their coffee came from, but also about the region, with a focus on sustainability and respect for the coffee bean growers.

This year’s Street Food Business Expo features cutting-edge exhibitors, spotlighting the best in food truck tech and kitchen innovation, eco-conscious packaging options, and point-of-service systems designed for the fast–paced service for which the street food industry is so famous. The Global Food Trucks market size is projected to grow from over 4.2 billion pounds in 2025 to over 6 billion pounds by 2033. As UK-based customers are increasingly interested in new and innovative flavour fusions, the opportunity for expansion and building a loyal base of customers has never been greater. Scale up and stand out amongst your competitors - become known for your bold dishes, sustainable plantbased options, or fresh new takes on comfort food classics. Back by popular demand, the NCASS Keynote Theatre boasts speakers from all across the street food scene - influential voices sharing their stories, strategies, real-life case-studies, and lessons learned from years in the industry.

The Street Food Business Expo is your launchpad for success, where deals are made, partnerships are born, and the next wave of food innovation takes flight.

industry insIGHTS Transformative Tech Being part of the Street Food industry isn’t just about having the best flavour fusions and offering the best price - customer service is also an essential part of the experience. Food trucks with point of service systems that automatically update menus and stock while simultaneously letting customers pay, are racing ahead of the competition. Operators can choose to use apps to allow customers to click-and-collect, and reduce waiting times.

Rejuvenation and Health Consumers are determined to meet their protein and fibre goals, and support their health through nutritious foods and tracking macros and calories. Wellness drinks such as ginger and turmeric or lemongrass shots are popular as they are quickto-consume, concentrated, and nutrient-dense. Health-conscious consumers are likely to be interested in minimally-processed, low-sugar, lactose or gluten free options, as well as plantbased alternatives to traditional protein options.

In 2026, the food industry as a whole will see the trend towards nutrition, wholefoods, and unprocessed ingredients continue. 48


Plant-Based & Eco-Friendly Options Following 2026’s record-breaking Veganuary - with approximately 30 million worldwide participants, up from 25.8 million the previous year - research by the Good Food Institute found that 31% of people in the UK were actively reducing their meat intake while 9% said they followed meatless diets. A vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is not the only reason for this upward trend - allergies, intolerances, and eco-consciousness also provide compelling reasons to cut down on meat and seek out alternatives. With customers and providers assuming responsibility for an ingredient’s carbon footprint, they are becoming more conscious about their consumption of imported or emission-intensive ingredients. Soon, the sale of some products will not be possible without regulation - the EU Deforestation Regulation aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss by requiring companies selling cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, rubber, or wood (and derivatives, for example chocolate and cattle fed with imported soy) to prove that these products are deforestation-free. As a result, vendors will need to prove their foods are ethically sourced or offer alternatives.

Foodies In 2026, the street food industry anticipates increasing consumer interest in new and exciting flavours and textures. These may come from unique cuisines and dishes from cultures that have so far been unexplored by the western food scene. South American flavour profiles - such as from Brazil, Venezuela, Peru and Columbia - are predicted to grow in popularity. Flavour fusions such as Korean pulled pork & kimchi, jalapenos and chipotle sauce, and gochujang and yuzu have been featured in 2026 product launches and mentioned on social media, while combination sauces such as hot honey are refreshing familiar classics such as fried chicken and pizza. Authentic traditional foods, especially from East Asia, are growing in popularity.

Influencers Street Food vendors would be unwise to ignore the advertising potential and exposure that can come with social media platforms. To appeal to influencers, food needs to look good and be photographable. Themed vendors with “instagrammable” looking meals can attract an audience of influencers, who then increase visibility and bring more customers through the door. Sites such as Instagram and TikTok focus not only on taste but also the visual aesthetics of a meal and the authentic storytelling that goes with it.

day 1 - wednesday september 29th Restaurant to Road & Road to Restaurant

10:15 AM - 11:15 AM

Join a discussion with our expert panel navigating the challenges of moving a business from restaurant to road and vice versa - discussing the tricks of getting this journey right.

ROB MACHIN OPERATIONS DIRECTOR | REIMAGINE

A founding team member at KERB and the first employee at Bleecker, Rob has navigated the road-to-restaurant journey from both sides — understanding what the street teaches about demand and commercial reality, and what it takes to translate that into a permanent operation that lasts. At Reimagine, he works with independent operators, developers, and asset owners to close the gap between a great concept and a viable one, bringing operational experience to moments when strategy alone isn’t enough.

VIMAL ARUMUGAM CO-FOUNDER, CEO | BAKED BIRD

Baked Bird grew from a family love of chicken wings and time spent travelling across East Asia, where different flavours and cooking methods inspired our baked-not-fried approach. In under 4 years, Baked Bird has grown to three food trucks, secured a residency at Boxhall City, and opened permanent sites including a flagship store on Goodge Street and a unit at ExCeL London.What started as a side project has become a growing QSR business, built steadily from the ground up and focused on doing chicken differently.

DAVID WOLANSKI CO-FOUNDER | CHICK’N’SOURS

David Wolanski is co-founder of Chick’n’Sours, the cult East London fried-chicken brand he launched in 2015 and grew from a single site into a multi-restaurant business — raising outside investment to fuel that growth, then later buying the investors out to take it independent again. He went on to found Chicken Shop, the fast-casual spinoff that grew out of Chick’n’Sours. When standalone restaurants stopped making commercial sense, he took Chick’n’Sours the other way, moving it off the high street and onto residencies, delivery and live events — a restaurant-to-road journey he’s lived firsthand, on top of running The Recipe catering business and cutting his teeth front-of-house at L’Escargot under Marco Pierre White.

JAMIE REIDY FOUNDER | GREIDY’S WINGS & STRIPS LTD

GREIDY’S was founded in 2017, but the story really began much earlier in the multicultural communities of Birmingham where Jamie grew up. Surrounded by West Indian, Kashmiri and many other cultures, food was more than something to eat – it was a way of bringing people together. One of the turning points came when Jamie started hosting cookouts and introducing people to his take on Caribbean-inspired food. The response was overwhelming. Looking back, GREIDY’S has never just been about chicken. It has been about people, passion and purpose. Every achievement earned can be traced back to those early lessons, where Jamie first learned that food has the power to tell stories, create memories and change lives

Baked Bird grew from a family love of chicken wings and time spent travelling across East Asia, where different flavours and cooking methods inspired our baked-not-fried approach. In under 4 years, Baked Bird has grown to three food trucks, secured a residency at Boxhall City, and opened permanent sites including a flagship store on Goodge Street and a unit at ExCeL London.What started as a side project has become a growing QSR business, built steadily from the ground up and focused on doing chicken differently.

HENRY POULTNEY CO-FOUNDER | GRACE + JAMES AND POLI

Henry and his wife founded Mexican inspired Cafe Horchata that traded out of a 1970 Renault Estafette across Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham. They created Creamed Pops, an ice cream pops concept and Holy Dough, a mobile woodfired pizza business. He went on to set up Grace + James, a wine bar and cheese shop, and Poli a neighbourhood pizza restaurant in South Birmingham. He also co-founded Kask Wine, a natural wine bar in Bristol.

JAK COOMBES FOUNDER | HIDE AND GREEK

Jak Coombes is the founder of Hide & Greek, a fast-growing Greek street food brand trading at major UK festivals, events and London food halls. Starting the business at 18 with a borrowed grill and a gazebo, he has helped grow Hide & Greek into a recognised name on the UK street food circuit, known for combining high-volume service with authentic Greek food, strong branding and modern operations.

JACK BRABANT CO-FOUNDER | DIGBETH DINING CLUB

Jack Brabant is co-founder and director of Digbeth Dining Club, Birmingham’s multi-award-winning street food events operation. After encountering street food in London, Jack returned to Birmingham frustrated by the lack of an equivalent scene. In August 2012, he launched the first Digbeth Dining Club event, attracting more than two thousand guests. Founded alongside James Swinburne, DDC has transformed the Midlands food landscape, growing from a weekly Friday night market into a multi-site operation, including Herbert’s Yard, Hockley Social Club and, most recently, Dockworks Waterfront in Brierley Hill. A self-described fun-loving foodie, Jack has helped put Birmingham on the UK street food map.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS Sustainability does not only involve packaging - some coffee shops, such as Coffee#1, offer free bags of used coffee grounds to customers for them to repurpose in their gardens or as scent absorbers. Others carefully choose their coffee to minimise their carbon footprint, and brew it sustainably in energy-efficient brewers or in large batches, reducing the per-cup environmental impact.

REGULATION

IS KING With a growing focus on sustainability throughout the food and beverage industry as a whole, drinks packaging should be recyclable out of necessity aspirational sustainability is no longer enough. The UK Government has introduced taxes for plastic, recycled content mandates, and labelling requirements etc, such as the EPR scheme and the Recyclability Assessment Methodology, which outlines standards for recyclability and determines the fines required from packaging producers. In Europe, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation sets requirements for manufacturing, composition, and the reusable or recoverable nature of all packaging in the EU market. The packaging design should fit compliance requirements, such as end of life outcomes and recyclability.

SUSTAINABLE

BECOMES CIRCULAR The next step in sustainability is for packaging to become part of a reuse cycle. Products such as drinkware can be created from recycled material and sold to customers, who then continue to use it, often with a discount. Companies such as Lush and the Body Shop offer a reward for returning empty product containers such as facemask pots - a scheme that will be picked up by the UK Government’s Deposit Management Organisation in 2027. The reusable nature of these products means that these materials need to be flexible, washable, reusable, and perform well under the stresses potentially caused by heat, moisture, and transport.

AESTHETICALLY

ECO

Recycled materials do not have to be bland, brown paper bags. Using bold colours and fun fonts for packaging to stand out ensures high shelf-appeal - looking great while making the user feel good by choosing the sustainable option. Eco-friendly dyes come from natural and renewable sources: colours from plants, minerals, and food waste such as turmeric, indigo, and beetroot avoid synthetic or petrochemical-based options.

56

Responsible Packaging


EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY TAX With the UK creating the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) tax, the hospitality sector will need to switch to recyclable packaging as standard or face paying fines. Consumers and businesses alike are growing more eco-conscious, and governments are creating taxes and legislations to regulate single-use plastics and reduce overall environmental impact.

COST-SAVING

PACKAGING Going forwards, packaging must be cost-neutral or cost-saving, transport well without damage, and be able to continually hold both hot and cold fluids. Materials that cannot fit into these parameters and therefore cannot be unused may need to be compostable to reduce their impact on the environment. Consumers and businesses alike are growing more eco-conscious, and governments are creating taxes and legislations to regulate single-use plastics and reduce overall environmental impact. As a result, the packaging used for ingredients and meals are likely to change in the near future. To meet recycling requirements, the use of mono-materials is likely to increase, with materials such as paper, mushrooms, tin, and seaweed replacing plastics. In addition to using recyclable materials, companies will also use refillable and reusable packaging or return schemes to cut down on waste.

With the cost of managing and recycling waste being passed down to hospitality venues, cafés and restaurants alike will be encouraged to buy their ingredients from suppliers who use sustainable packaging. If these containers are intended to be reused, they will need to not only be capable of carrying hot food or liquids, but be able to do so several times before they are recycled into something else. As a result, the packaging used for ingredients and meals are likely to change in the near future. To meet recycling requirements, the use of monomaterials is likely to increase, with materials such as paper, mushrooms, tin, and seaweed replacing plastics. In addition to using recyclable materials, companies will also use refillable and reusable packaging or return schemes to cut down on waste.

MAXIMIZE MATERIALS

In 2024, Reconomy Connect found that yearly, around 2.2 million tonnes of packaging is used and thrown away in London alone. In 2026 and beyond, driven by sustainability directives, companies are likely to lean more into a circular economy - maximising materials throughout their lifecycle and recovering this material at the end of the cycle with the intention of repurposing it.

DATA, TRACEABILITY,

AND PROOF To stay ahead of the competition, operators in the food service industry should gain third party qualifications, and measure and display their data to prove they are not greenwashing their food; consumers want more honesty and accountability from suppliers to give them peace of mind. Packaging should also correctly guide consumers on disposal, and Sunrise 2027’s 2D barcodes will relay information on sourcing and data for companies to increase transparency.

ALAN CHOY

Founder & CEO | HOMELINK ECO CO., LTD.

The Compliance Trap: Can Your Packaging Survive 2026? Your packaging says sustainable. But can you prove it? Or are you just hoping you don’t get caught? At HOMELINK ECO, we see businesses fall into the gap between Marketing and Compliance every day - and that gap is getting very expensive. EPR is tightening. Greenwashing isn’t just a bad look; it’s a regulatory risk. If your bagasse isn’t certified, it’s a liability. Period. We cut through the noise: what DIN and TUV certification demands of your supply chain, and how to build a strategy that holds under legislative pressure while delivering on cost and operability. This isn’t a product pitch. This isn’t a product pitch. This is a Commercial Reality Check. Protect your business with packaging strategies built for the regulatory and operational realities of 2026.
