Quinoa is one of the best grains that a person can eat. There are three types of Quinoa: red, white, and black. All of these are being rapidly adopted by restaurants. This has resulted in a movement away from white rice. The reason for this is its wide applications, i.e. being baked into bread. Major chains are even getting involved. Chic-Fil-A, for example, has introduced Quinoa into one of their dishes. Since Quinoa is high in protein and is healthy, these moves are seen as a step in the right direction.
- Quinoa has enjoyed renewed popularity among many restaurant patrons. Chefs are finding creative ways to include quinoa in recipes.
- Red, white and black quinoa are delicious grains to be eaten. They can be used for several different cooking styles at dinner.
- Chefs enjoy quinoa because it is a new grain to eat. Quinoa provides an alternative to eating bagels too often in a diet.
“The slow shift away from white rice, a staple in Asian cooking and an integral part of many bowls and burritos at limited-service restaurants, is a perfect example.”

Almost ninety percent of all smartphone users use their phones to research information about restaurants. Every week one out of every three people who own a smartphone look up information about a restaurant to find out the hours it is open, how to get to the restaurant or where the restaurant is located. Currently one-third of all restaurants offer a smartphone app, although independent restaurants are much less likely to offer a smartphone app, with large chains or franchises being four times more likely to offer smartphone users this option.

The weakened value of the pound in June kept food prices high for Britons. According to the CGA Price Index, fish products were the most highly affected, reportedly due to sea lice farming problems.
Overall, the lessened value of the pound has had the most prominent effect on prices across nearly all food products, from fish, to coffee, to fruit.
According to CGA’s commercial director, Brexit is the main cause of the lower exchange rate, leading to the inflationary prices.
Wholesale fish sellers will be better able to handle these issues if they can optimize their pricing strategies.

Breakfast is key; it’s more important than people might think. To restaurants who serve breakfast, it’s a chance to build a network of repeat customers looking to grab something as simple as a coffee, doughnut or a bagel with a bit of dressings. In our society, the importance of breakfast has been drilled into our heads from youth, a notion that will stay with us for the rest of our lives, especially with hundreds of thousands of choices of what to eat and millions of restaurants to serve us.
- Meal distribution ratings, relevant to when frequent and casual visitors eat at quick-serve meal sites, showed morning hours were preferred in both categories.
- While the findings aren’t surprising for coffee shops, they also showed burger establishments are twice as likely to get morning-hour consumers.
- Specific to them, some sites, like Sonic Drive In and Cafe Rio, seem to pull in later hour visitors.
“Now, analysis of 5 million restaurant visits from Sense360 adds credence to one hypothesis in particular: breakfast is when the most loyal customers come out to eat.”
