On Tuesday 31st January, we launched the Look Book at our London Innovation Centre, just off Oxford St, in the heart of London. We hosted local London businesses to showcase the new and exciting ways the Look Book can help them to innovate their tabletop presentation in 2017, from Starters through to Desserts.
The Look Book Launch
The Look Book is a result of in-depth analysis of the menus from all the leading restaurants and pub chains in the UK. Our aim was to find out what's really popular with British consumes when they're eating out and ordering food and drinks.
While we see new trends emerging every year, the tastes of the average consumer remain relatively conservative with the same favourite dishes coming up time and time again.
This creates a very real challenge for those companies and individuals running pubs, hotels and restaurants in the UK. How to find new and innovative ways to present classic menu choices in a way that will surprise and delight customers?
The Look Book is packed full of great product ideas to help you revitalise your tabletop presentations and bring a fresh, exciting new look to a wide range of the most popular starts, main courses, desserts and drinks.
