Studies show that staff shortages will be one of the main challenges facing the food service sector in 2023. This was also confirmed in the responses to one of the regular surveys carried out by Club Top F&B, whose members include the corporate directors for food and beverages at some of the leading hotel chains in Spain. Managing human resources and a lack of staff were the chief concerns highlighted in the survey, followed by the rising costs of raw materials and transforming the sector into one that is attractive for customers.

The term “foodtech” has become increasingly common in recent years. But what is it, and how is it affecting us? Firstly, foodtech refers to the use of technology and biotechnology to develop innovations that have a significant impact on the way food is produced, processed, cooked or distributed. Consequently, foodtech affects every link in the value chain of the food industry: from livestock farming and the primary sector through to supermarkets and, of course, food service.

Food service is an extremely dynamic sector that is capable of adapting to changes, innovations, new concepts and consumers’ tastes.

After two years of hard work, in June 2022 L’Hospitalet de Llobregat obtained the internationally renowned Biosphere certification for sustainable tourism awarded by the Responsible Tourism Institute (RTI), which certifies good practices on the part of tourist services and companies. The initiative is promoted in Barcelona by the city’s Provincial Council and Chamber of Commerce. The certification recognises L’Hospitalet’s commitment to sustainability and its desire to continuously improve in this area. As well as reasons related purely to sustainability, the accolade will also enhance the city’s reputation as a tourist destination, help attract responsible tourism and serve as an additional pull-factor for visitors.

How can the food service sector take advantage of leisure and culture-related activities? We have a number of thoughts and useful ideas that could enable restaurants to attract customers, especially now that Christmas is coming and bringing with it a packed programme of activities, such as exhibitions, musical performances and theatrical events. Having a programme of activities spread across different spaces within the city serves as a tool of both economic and social development. It is precisely this dispersion of activities that favours the entire food service community, owing to the fact that instead of being contained in a single space, activities can take place simultaneously or at different times and enliven different neighbourhoods throughout the city.
