Picking My Topic
I decided that I would talk about the food industry and the growth it has made over the years. I would also like to talk about the category and the struggles that many restaurants have to deal with to compete with each other. I’ve been in the food industry for about 14 years and currently work as a food rep for Shamrock Foods. I understand the cost of food from the farmers that grow to the unpredicted weather and seasons that play a big role in harvest time. I also have seen the logistics of getting products to a warehouse and on a truck to your favourite place to eat. I know food prices, trends and consulting businesses in ways to stay competitive. Even though my organization gives us marketing trends weekly I always like to see the outside source and what the public can see. My sources are Nation’s Restaurant News, Restaurant Business online, and the most important one that I’ve been apart of in the National Restaurant Association.
These sites are used by many people in the industry when forecasting the ups and down of the business. The food industry is constantly changing with fads and trends that we all must discuss the value and where the industry will go next.
