Food trends are not anything new to the restaurant community. In the last couple of years, there has been a huge increase in demanding gluten free meals and vegetarian & vegan meals. Additionally to the food trends, customers seek restaurants, which are thinking about the environment and supporting local communities instead of using imported vegetables. Offering organic goods or imported goods, can be the differentiation between the restaurant\u2019s competitors. Here are 3 ways, how your restaurant can become more sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important ingredients for vegan and vegetarian meals are vegetables. People tend to buy local goods more than imported goods, as it associates with a better flavour and supporting local Maltese farmers. But how do the vegetables affect your restaurant\u2019s sustainability? Reducing the demand for shipped goods reduces the carbon spent on moving the goods. You\u2019re now able to tell your customers, from where exactly the ingredients are being brought in, gaining trust from visitors and a loyal customer base by the locals. The only flaw with local goods is the price point, however, offering a menu with seasonal meal options could even cut costs, as during the season, vegetables and fruit becomes even cheaper than the imported goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
