2017 operations forecast: creative food, creative management

During recent years, we’ve seen shifts in how traditional leadership roles operate, as silos break down and the scopes of various roles widen and change. Digital transformation has morphed from a trend to a central component of modern business strategy. Here are the top 10 operation trends we expect to see in 2017.

Key Takeaways:

  • The 2017 trend forecast from Andrew Freeman & Company unearths plenty of ingredients and dishes likely to generate buzz next year.
  • predictions about how operators will handle the labor woes and minimum wage issues making life difficult for so many restaurants right now.
  • I have seen and expect to see more restaurants moving to smaller, more thoroughly curated menus that really create a tight expression of their restaurant’s vision.

“The cynic in us knows that it’s out of necessity — labor shortages have made the best people more valuable and that means those team members can demand better compensation and benefits.”
