2. • According to a study by
financial services firm
EY, 70% of Millennials
(aged 24-35) would
rather leave their
current job and set up
business on their own
making them “one of the
most entrepreneurial
generations of all time.”
• Many companies are
experiencing a sort of
‘innovation drain’
where entrepreneurial
talent goes elsewhere.
The trends outlined in this book, both
consumer and food based, highlight how
the consumer demand for experience
along with developments in technology
have been catalysts for creation. Not only
that, but there is something in the current
generation’s mindset that is all about
pushing the boundaries.
This is obviously good news for the food
industry!

From Microchipping
Pets…To Employees
A company in Stockholm,
Sweden has just started
microchipping its
employees, replacing
the traditional key fob for
things such as opening
security doors and
photocopying. It even
allows them to pay for

victims of paralysis. The
chips are the size of a

What Is It?
With the success of simple concepts
like well-known Nando’s, we’re seeing
the rise of specialists that do one thing
and do it well. It’s also about new waves
of popularity for old favourites and the
emergence of potential new trends.
Why?
Consumers are eating out more often
and want to be able to apply their
personal preferences wherever they go.
A telescopic focus on one thing allows
for better quality dishes and variations
of the core product means the dish
can be customised according to the
consumers’ desires.
