Catering for the Future to meet new Consumer requirements

The average customer is dead and gone. Three-course meals are out. Today's customer is looking for freedom and individuality. People now eat anywhere, at any time. Catering has to adapt to these changes in consumer behaviour and prepare for the future. GastroSuisse, the leading Swiss Federation in the area of Foodservice and Catering, has created a tool - Strategy "Orange" - specifically to help foodservice businesses do this.

Mastering the future requires a new way of thinking and of acting. The new, well informed "Me-client", who spends a lot of time surfing the net, has a wide range of foodservice options to choose from. This customer is developing demands which are hard to meet. He or she want to be free to eat and drink at any time, in any place, according to mood or situation. But the "eating-out" budget has not increased, on the contrary.
GastroSuisse, the leading Swiss Federation in the area of Foodservice and Catering, has created a tool - Strategy "Orange" - specifically to help foodservice companies do this.How can a foodservice business stand out in this highly developed and competitive market? The answer: find a niche and fill it with a distinctive profile, new products and a strong brand. This is the purpose of GastroSuisse's Strategy "Orange".

GastroSuisse has just spent several months analysing what the foodservice and catering business of the future will look like. The outcome was presented in Bern on 26 June 2007 in the form of a 50 page booklet setting out the key factors currently impacting eating-out trends in Switzerland: changes in society, in the family and in work and leisure patterns.
