In America we tend to call refer to it as the food service / foodservice industry wile in the UK it may be called the catering industry. Despite the name difference, we’re all speaking about the same thing- food prepared in an environment that isn’t your mom’s kitchen. This might mean food is prepared at a private school or preschool environment- cafeteria food. Perhaps it’s at a restaurant, hospital or lounge. Maybe even food at a convenience store…
Did you know that food service sales to providers such as restaurants and institutional facilities like hospitals are estimated to be in excess of $400 billion dollars annually? And contrast this to what is sold in grocery outlets- a very similar number- so realize that our society’s changes are shifting our economy. With that in mind, one of the largest employers in the US is the food service industry. So as we’re seeing a settling in the economy we’re seeing job markets change, too.
The effect and impact of trends in the international food service industry should not be overlooked.
