New Trends in Convention Center Food for 2020

New Trends in Convention Center Food for 2020

If you own and operate a convention center, these are the trends that your guests are going to be looking for in 2020. If you can provide one or more of these options, it may allow you to increase your rates or keep your calendar full more of the year.

  • More coffee options – Americans are becoming better versed in how coffee works, and tastes are changing rapidly. Rather than the same coffee that is available in any hotel or gas station, your convention center needs to think about single-origin coffees, cold brew, and milk alternatives like almond or soy.
  • Bright colors – People eat with their eyes first, and people want to eat up beautiful and bold colors. Food that has had all the vibrance cooked out of it or that has gone dull from spending too long in the freezer isn’t Instagram-worthy.
  • Sit-down meals – If you are used to serving finger foods, this may call for a overhaul that you need to start thinking about. Developing a seating area and adding entrees that can be eaten with a fork and knife to the menu may seem like a major undertaking, but it can also result in a huge payoff.
