But the year is over, and restaurant experts, owners of famous chains and analysts have moved on to forecasts for 2023 . What will the new year be and what are the main gastronomic trends ?

Foodtech

Technology is changing food and the approach to it. Delivery (more on that later), robotic coffee shops and restaurants, the use of technology in agriculture, for example, farms for growing greens in a closed space, are becoming more and more popular. In 2023 , the world will become even more modern, and the gastronomy industry is no exception.

Delivery

More than half of global investment in foodtech is delivery. In the near future, they predict an increase in the number of orders with delivery by 20-30%. This includes own delivery of restaurants, and delivery services from restaurants and shops. In the US, you can order pizza not only with the help of a mobile application, but also using a smart watch or smart TV, and this way will soon become commonplace. The popularity of delivery of not only ready meals, but also sets of ingredients for their preparation at home will grow.

Monoformats

When you have hookah, sushi, pasta, and pizza in one place, it's convenient. But in 2023, such universal restaurants-supermarkets will give way to monoformat atmospheric cafes, pizzerias, burger restaurants, cheburechny restaurants, etc. Monocafes have been stepping on the heels of station wagons for several years. And in the new year, establishments that cook your favorite dish perfectly will confidently come out on top.

Fast-casual

The fast-casual format is a modern compromise between fast food and an expensive restaurant. From the first, he took high speed of preparation and democracy, and from the second - benefit and good service. Such establishments attract supporters of a healthy balanced diet who want to save time, and in 2020 the fast-casual segment is predicted to prosper.

Vegetarian substitute

Vegetable substitutes for meat and dairy products are gaining popularity. According to the predictions of Uber Eats experts, vegetarian trends will also change in the new year. For example, tofu will become an anti-trend, seitan will also lose ground. Instead, they will use tempeh - a fermented product made from soybeans.

Swelling of jackfruit

Jackfruit or Indian breadfruit is not a new player. Last year, the superfood lost its position on the market, and in 2023 it is promised glory again.

More benefits

Despite the fact that, according to Uber Eats, sushi, pizza and burgers were the top places for orders in Ukraine last year, the demand for healthy food is also growing. Flax and hemp oil will be at the peak of popularity in the new year.
